The Case for the F-35C

I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, the F-35 in general is a gorgeous plane that will bring our aging fleet of multi-role jet aircraft up to speed in the modern age. On the other, with the financial crisis being what it is and Lockheed Martins program being as behind as it is, I'm not sure that the "juice is worth the squeeze". However, in the video below the USMC makes a case for the need to press the Joint Strike Fighter into service.

Will this go the way of the Comanche? Lets hope not!
