DARPA's Crowd Sourced Vehicle....
The above photos are from I09.
Don't even bother to go to the DARPA website....I don't quite get those guys....what is the purpose? To show that some guys with a wrench, time and money could design a dune buggy? Me and my buddies could do that...but this is so far from being a combat vehicle that it isn't funny.
This was a waste of time and taxpayers dollars.
F-35 Stealth Controversy. Air Force Magazine drives the final nail in the lie.

Finally.F-35 Partners Get Equal Stealth: Le Bourget, France—International partners on the F-35 will enjoy a stealth capability on the fighter equal to that of the US versions, according to F-35 program office officials. Maj. Gen. C.D. Moore, deputy director of the F-35 program office, gave a non-committal answer during a press conference here this week at the Paris Air Show when a reporter asked about the level of stealth available to foreign users. International reporters have long hinted that the United States would hold back some capability. However in a subsequent statement issued by the F-35 program office, officials said "the quick answer to the statement regarding partners being less stealthy than the US is 'no.' (Partners will have same capability)." The program officials noted that the stealth aspects of some partner versions will vary slightly due to their inclusion of some unique gear, such as drag chutes, but it is "a program objective to not impact [low-observable] characteristics. It is our intent to produce a common solution to ensure interoperability for coalition operations as well as production affordability."—John A. Tirpak
It seems like we won't have the same nonsense of two paid hacks that happen to wear General's stars debating this till the end of time.
Stick a fork in this boys.
The story is over.
The facts are there for all to see.
The partner nations will get equal stealth.
Now all we have to do is wait for the next made up lie. Coming your way in 3...2...1....
Mexican Troops cross into the US.
This type of "mistake" is starting to happen with a bit of regularity.
Bad things will happen unless they get a handle on this nonsense. (click the title to go to the news site)

St. Louis Marine Week finishes...strong...???
Marine Week in St Louis has been marred by some rather unfortunate incidents and statements. Most glaring would be the statement by the SPMAGTF's Commander and the mugging of Marines without retaliation.
Col. Tomko: I’ll tell you what, with that M1A1 Abrams we got across the street, if Halladay keeps on pitching well, we can fix that with one round pretty quickly.
Announcer: - awkward laughs - I’m sure you could. I don’t know if we should say that, but you just did.
Col. Tomko: I can say whatever I want because I’m a war fighter, and this is the Cardinals Nation the last time I checked.
