The newest stealth fighter has another problem?

This time, they 'just?' realized that the cannons on it can't be fired because they were never programmed!!!
I think every one involved on this horrible mess should not only be fired (if they are still around) and
sent to prison for gross negligence with the spending of tax payer dollars.

That part of the programming was probably very low priority as they are normal not used. Primary is air to air missiles at much greater range. Guns are a last resort. I am sure they are aware and were aware of this. As part of the fielding or upgrading of any system you get a limitations list. With enough money everything should be fixed but they prioritize. This program has been a white elephant for a long time and should be put on a very short leash. It is kind of hard to believe they have not been able to incorporate the guns in the currant software build.
