Brat,
Turbine D, like George... you really must get the facts straight. USMC F-35’s have already deployed to Japan.
Do tell the entire story.
Step one - A squadron of Marine F-35Bs have been
relocated to Japan.
Step two - Will operationally
deploy at sea onboard an amphibious assault ship
in 2018.
I know you would like to believe that they are good to go today at a moment's notice, but...
