I'll say this once, but don't ask me for follow up, as I am really tired of the ensuing arguments. The F-35 will be canceled. It will never make it into operational service. I have said this, and maintained that for more than a year that the aircraft cannot perform its intended mission. When the time comes to fish or cut bait, that baby is getting knifed.

People want to know how I know this, but it is something I cannot answer without having my information sources cut off forever. So, I tell people to "just wait".
