re: #346 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

The F-22, like the F-35, is one of the leftovers of the Cold War era, built for an enemy that no longer exists. A very flash showpiece that the Air Force isn’t going to risk in war any time soon, reserved almost exclusively for air shows.

Meanwhile, the Army, Marines, and Navy have had similar programs either cut back or killed entirely. Probably because you can’t fly a Seawolf-class sub or a next-gen tank over crowds of brain dead yokels.

Oh yea I forgot the F-22 has missed 3 wars. But it has been in about 20-30 movies.
