SNIPPET from post no. 1:


"The joint strike fighter-- the most expensive acquisition in U.S. military history -- will replace a wide range of aging fighter and strike aircraft for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and eight international partners. The F-35 is the “the heart of the future of our tactical combat aviation,” Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said in a visit to a Lockheed factory in August. “The importance of this aircraft cannot be overstated.”"

What I don’t get is, since it is a fact that the F-35 is the most expensive plane ever, where are all those who killed the F-22 becuase it was “too expensive”?
