Strangely, while not disputing the substance of the DOT&E report, the JPO implies that it is not the whole story, as if some other information would make it all seem acceptable. Whether all the knots will ever get untied, I don't know, but it will take much longer and cost much than many are willing to admit.

As a customer, I would be careful not commit to premature decommissioning of air assets that the JSF is supposed to replace. As a taxpayer, I wish we hadn't shut down the F-22 assembly line. The marginal cost of the F-22 will prove to be less than F-35, I'm afraid.
