Appearing at the National Press Club today, Gen Norton Schwartz had a message for the General Electric/Rolls-Royce team building the controversial F136 alternate engine for the F-35 fighter:
"I don't deny that competition might well result in some savings over the long-run. The question is whether we can afford it in the short-term. And I have to be candid that if Rolls and GE are so confident that their product will succeed and bring value to the taxpayer, it would be nice if they put a little bit more against that $1.9 billion bill that they want the taxpayer to undertake."
