F-16s to Ukraine?
Allowing F-16s to be transferred to the Ukrainian Air Force, standing up training for their pilots and eventually converting them to fly the F-16 will solve an emotional appeal. It just won’t change the course of the war.
Tall Poppies
We all love the rock star performers who can solve the unsolvable, succeed against insane odds and triumph when people think that there is no hope. HR departments hate the people who are not like the rest of the gang and diminish or ostracize the ‘one offs’ who don’t behave like everyone else.

Optimizing Human Performance in Fighter Jets
We need to think of fighter pilots as high-end athletes; ‘Tactical Athletes’.

Instead, Canada chose capitalism and the chance to benefit from the enormous scale of production and sustainment linked to the franchise F-35 program.
Trudeau’s Speech
One of smartest political speeches in modern times, then candidate Justin Trudeau said: “We will not buy the F-35 fighter jet”. Strategically brilliant; that speech helped pivot an electorate in favor of Liberal party when to that point, polls ran the election as a 3-way race.
