There are rumors that the F-35 is at last ready to make it's debut in a service role. For the Marines. You know, the ground-support role? Except it has no operational cannon (it won't fit in the plane) limited air time, and no bombing capability due to munitions problems and several other issues as pointed out in the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) article here.
We won't even mention the very ineffective nature of the air support from the allies and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East in the new type of warfare that is being fought these days.
This would be funny if it wasn't so expensive, and the military is still trying to order more! This is obviously a "for show" rollout or perhaps the stage debut for a heavily made-up star that never quite made it.
