Thanks For The Memories – Dan “Mr. F-35? Ross To Retire

Defence Watch has received a number of comments from defence industry reps about Mr. Ross’s coming retirement….but none of them are printable in a family newspaper.

Strangely, the Defence Department didn’t rush out to produce any heartfelt goodbyes either to “Mr. F-35.”

Asked to comment, the DND couldn’t even produce a real human being to wax poetic about Mr. Ross. Instead, it sent Defence Watch a brief email statement courtesy of the ADM Public Affairs robo-emailer:

“The Department greatly appreciates Mr. Ross for all of his hard work and dedication to the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence, and wishes him success in any future endeavours.”
