Pentagon Needs to Keep It Simple on New F-35 Engine
An engine currently exists, it works, and if it needs to be upgraded, it should be improved.

Having spent most of my adulthood in elected office and the US military, I have a good understanding of how the government works and the conditions that put it in a position to succeed or fail.
One thing I have learned about government is that the best solution to a challenge is often the simplest one. Alternatively, when the government tries to fix a problem with complexity, things tend to go sideways.
A simple explanation for this phenomenon is that the more complicated the process, the more people get involved. Next, you get mission creep, costs skyrocket, and opportunities for graft or mismanagement persist.
At the end of the day, you’re beating the odds if the entire project isn’t a boondoggle.
