Gates Live III: EFV, SLAMRAAM, JSF

Gates just dropped the big bombs: SLAMRAAM and EFV are slated for kills, as expected.

As for JSF, Gates said the STOVL variant will be placed on “the equivalent of a two-year probation.” If its problems can't be fixed in that period, “then I believe it should be canceled,” he said.

Also, the variant will move to the back of the production line, and the Pentagon will buy more F/A-18s to fill any gaps.
