The F-22 is a boondogle.
Besides, you can’t fight terrorists with the F-22 - It was designed to shoot down the best and brightest Soviet fighters around. Well, they ain’t around and soon neither will be the F-22.
Maybe the Air Force should be next on the chopping block. It would be poetic justice.
...such as the MiG-31s that Putin is selling to Chavez, Assad, etc...
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

Army air corps? or troll? Time will tell.
It would be sheer idiocy.
We’re going to wish we had those F-22s when the Chinese make their military move.
We live in fame.
You went down in flames.
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!
Dude give it up. You can’t be that dumb. The F-22 has far greater use than a fighter to fighter platform. It is the best jet fighter in the world but, just as the F-117 was used to knock out command & control facilities, infrastructure, AAA assets, and other high value targets in GW1 the F-22 will fill the same role.
That is one monumentally huge plate of stupid you dished up there, bigger than I've seen in weeks. You probably need something to wash it down.
The mods won't let me tell you what's in the cup (trust me I tried). Just drink up.
False.
It was and remains an effective state of the art stealth fighter....which can guarantee us air superiority for the next two or three decades...which has been strung out and underfunded so that every single plane is forced to be charged about twice what it would have been if it had simply been ordered for 5 or 6 hundred planes instead of the unending "research" and Clinton-dictated "redesign" into also being an attack plane (ground bombing) and then Bush's onesy-twosy orders...along with his father and Cheney having killed the Navy version.
Economies of scale are absolutely vital in considering the deployment of weapons systems. And from the get-go, the enemies of our future aviation superiority have stymied us from deploying sufficient forces. ...And not just the F-22.

Wrong again.
You can't fight terrorists unless you have air superiority.
AND The Soviet union's last fighters are still being produced by Putin/Medvedev...and you can bet that these will make into theaters that will undermine our air superiority. Same as with the French and Swedish fighters
Mig-29
Su-35

Justice? According to Red China maybe, which wants to be hegemon of the world....
Chinese Su-27
I look forward to the whole sorry mess of warped thinkers like you are swept from the national scene.
