The tragedy is that F-35 is badly needed. It will get procured, because there is no alternative and we're committed. It also won't be purchased nowhere near the numbers that are needed because it's not the affordable fighter it was promised to be. I am just stating the mathematical fact that for a given amount of money, the number of airplanes you get is inversely proportional to their cost (it's worse than that, in reality).So when the taxpayers (I think it's the guys LM is talking about in " We never forget who we are working for", unless it's the shareholders) hold their side of the bargain (i.e., pay up), and are not given what they were promised, well, bitterness is probably the mildest of emotions that are warranted. Barging on FW with tar and feathers is second.
