Stop calling themselves Marines and perhaps they'll try harder to keep their aircraft in the air.
Navy : Why do Marines bang their heads against walls?
Army: Dunno, why?
Navy : Because it feels nice when they stop.
Marine : <Thud> Owww <Thud> Owww <Thud> Owww.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Remind me again how many of these things are we buying?
I think most aircraft have crashed at least once in their flying history for one reason or another. A military aircraft crash is more likely than a commercial aircraft due to the likelihood of someone firing 'stuff' at you.
It is a sophisticated aircraft and probably has the unpowered aerodynamics of a bumble bee. Hence any software error/glitch could cause it to do something the pilot wasn't expecting/requesting. Only if they start to crash on a regular basis is I likely to be a cause for concern.
