User blog comment:WarKnight 1/Aviation News: Japan chooses the F-35 for the F-X program/@comment-1824272-20111221040431

An interesting news snippet of the latest in aviation. Thanks, WarKnight 1. :) I think the U.S. treat Japan a little too harshly, though. The F-22A Raptor is a very amazing aircraft, and Japan's our ally. Does the D.O.D. and U.S.A.F. really believe that Japan would only take the Raptor to use against us?

And I never heard about all of those problems with the F-35 (then again I don't follow aviation news xD). If Boeing said all of those problems existed, why did Japan go with the F-35?
