An the first use of the ultra deadly, stealthy F-22 Raptor was as a BOMBER! We used a super secret, fifth generation, stealth fighter as a bomber and we only have 195 (8 test and 187 operational aircraft) of them because they were so costly at $150 million (and are now out of production). This is utter insanity. We could have used F-15E Strike Eagles, but the F-22 Raptor!?!? What are the idiots in USAF HQ thinking?

Well, they also used the F-104 as a bomber so that does not surprise me. B-P
