More USAF leadership decline

This article shows that we have USAF top officers that are dangerous and stupid.

The original statements by the general are wrong.

I would consider it "treason" for a group of military officers to praise the F-35 and insist upon it; all while U.S. air power dominance fades into history.

But the pressure to make the F-35 succeed has created a classic dilemma for the Air Force. One in which it has become necessary under the conventional wisdom to burn down the village in order to save it. The F-35 is voraciously devouring the service budget, consuming dollars needed to sustain other weapons. Dollars needed to field and support the airmen who fight and win wars through air and space. And now, pursuit of the F-35 threatens to devour the very conscience of the service itself. A service born out of disruptive thinking and organized challenges to traditional power structures has devolved into a conformist technocracy increasingly bent on silencing challengers and achieving intellectual alignment via any means necessary — lawful or unlawful, moral or immoral.
