I think this discussion about the effectiveness of the F-35 is like debating the existence of God, by the time you find out the correct answer it is way too late to change your point of view.
That being going to war with it.
Here's a great blog written a few years ago that gives IMO a fair assessment of the aircraft with regards to Canada's purchase of their CF-35s. This have changed a bit but for the most part intelligentally spells out what this aircraft can and can't do. It's worth the reading, especially for the "uninformed."
American Innovation: Canada and the F-35
so i have a question for those guys working in the program. Our DOD propaganda is saying deliveries are expected to begin 2018, with completion of our order 2023. Does that line up with whats happening inside the company?
Actually, the F-35D is unmanned...the titanium bathtub is for the pilot to have a nice relaxing soak and play with his (or her!) loofah while the aircraft autonomously spreads death and destruction in its wake. Program costs will still spiral out of control due to increased demand for post-traumatic stress treatments as the pilots are subjected to a never-ending stream of "Where's the soap?" jokes.

It's just the decadent lifestyle we lead - baths are for relaxing, showers are for getting oneself clean. What can I say? Some of us are just more civilized.
