USMC Air still living the F-35 lie

Solomon caught a good one (which was mentioned in government reports but he states it better).

"Two F-35B aircraft received foreign object damage to their engine fan stages, a result from operating in rugged conditions with jet wash likely blowing small rocks into aircraft intakes. This prevented those aircraft from further participation in flying activities until repairs were completed just prior to the ferry flights home."

Minor dust and dirt makes F-35 "austere" basking ops a FOD disaster.

The other lies left out by the USMC-Air, F-35 fan-base, that other air power planners at the theater level...already know: we could fight a war; win it; all without STOVL jets.
