Fukuyama was right: history is over. I disagree. Just like stocks have reached a permanently high level? Real estate values will never decline? More like: Communism isn't coming back. Neither is the Ottoman Empire. Those aren't trends that are going to reverse. I won't say war is dead. A limited co...

My measly contribution would be in the noise for HRH (or is she HM? How does one keep these forms of address straight?).

Diogenes, At no point have I advocated throwing anyone to any wolves. I even wrote: Now, it is fair to ask me if I think charities should take up pre- and post- natal care of children of irresponsible parents. I don't see any moral way out of the responsibility. Lots of reasons, but the gripping han...

I admit that the only stuff I know about it is what I saw in a documentary that followed each team as they competed for the JSF project. I saw the same, I think, documentary and your points are well taken. The LockMart folks were smart to do things not required, but IIRC it was the fan that won the...

JSF Afloat is not tested yet. It is predicted to have significant deck heating/burning issues, like the Osprey has. The Boeing design would have been that much worse! On the bright side, going to one base platform with JSF makes it cheaper for our adversaries to counter. That is a serious problem w...
