People are so short-sighted. The F-22 is the only aircraft in our inventory that can go up against SAAB Gripen, EF2000, Rafael, SU-30, SU-35, SU-37, S-37, S-47, and any future variant of the SU.

As already been proven, our guys in India's SU-30's mopped up the sky again our guys in everything from F-15 to F-16. There is nothing America flies that can take on the SU-30 and win hands down except F-22.

When the S-37 goes into production (It has already been approved to go into production), the F-35 will already have its work cut out for it. Only the F-22 will make short work of it.

Anyway, these idiots in Congress think that all the wars we will ever fight will be stupid wars like Afghanistan or Iraq. Get real! Unless the US plans to take over the world politically, we are going to have a rude wake up call someday.

These idiots in Congress think that 5000 dead in Iraq is a lot. What happens when that is 5000 aircraft and you have none left to fight a war?

What should I expect from my latest government anyway? They drop a trillion that they don't have at the drop of a hat. Short sighted freaks. I mean, they have a $800 billion defense budget on the table, and they are squabbling over 0.1% of it for something that we need, and then trying to make it sound like they did a big thing by saving SO MUCH MONEY! Crazy.

The people get the Government they deserve. How this is proving so true.
