@pbguru101 Ridiculously complex + expensive, I couldn't agree more.

@infosecmgr1 I thought the marines were big employers of the K.I.S.S. method =\ times have changed I suppose.

Nothing simple about this, also seems like a lot to break...

[infosecmgr1]

@pbguru101 It's not really a Marine aircraft. They just use it. Look at the damn thing. It's overly complex.

[pbguru101]

@infosecmgr1 Haha I know right??

@infosecmgr1 the plus of it is that it makes LHD's just as powerful as carrier aircraft. In a time of war these things can be used as escort carriers filled with 20 f35's part of carrier fleets. Wait a min with that argument the super carrier numbers can be dropped O.o.. good for economy bad for military.
