Comes the totally unsurprising word now that the F-35 is still broken (and still several times over budget).
The Marines have just grounded their whole fleet (for the tiny little reason that the engines have been bursting into flame) but if memory serves the Marines were the ones who got their first F-35s lacking some parts, like guns! (Update -- the whole US fleet of F-35s has now been grounded).
If the Marines ever feel safe enough to actually fly all the way across the Atlantic in one of these things (where is Charles Lindbergh when you need him?), they now know they have a backup weapon - drop a flaming engine on the enemy! Oh, wait...there is only one engine....scratch that idea. Besides, the pilots apparently can't see well enough to aim anything at anyone anyway!
