Early in the Obama administration, then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates succeeded in his effort to kill the F-22 program. The assembly line was shut down after the last Raptor was delivered in 2012. Some air power advocates believe that capping production at 195 planes was a big mistake.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sold everything classified of value to anyone with the money while she was there, and I'm sure the Raptor was included.

There is nothing classified in what he describes - hearing it is not doing it. Everything is in the public domain and in fact most of what he describes is already in use by manufactures all over the world - Airbus has many of these features
