No disrespect intended to anyone serving in the Air Force today. I served my country and so did my brother. We’re patriots, guys! We would serve again if we could turn the clock back 30 years.
I’m a patriot, as you can all tell from my posts, and relish my days in uniform.
As for the F-22, it served its time too. There will be a better aircraft coming your way soon. I just ask that the Air Force try to be better with the IFF, ok?
You’re not insulting me. You’re inadvertently insulting yourself. I respect your service. I don’t even come close to respecting your opinion on this.
This aircraft is decades down the pipeline into full production, and now you want us to cancel the program and start all over at scratch. And when the next aircraft comes in at $200 million per copy, you’ll want to ash can that project too.
No, the time to put up or shut up on this aircraft is long time past. It’s time to build it and knock off the back bench nonsense.
