The F-22 has never been flown over Iraq or Afghanistan.

I herd McCain mention this as the reason the F-22 should be scrapped....I'd like to know how he would respond to this ...

Just as we have Trident submarines with nuclear weapons, and intercontinental ballistic missiles that were not used in the current conflicts, we need air superiority capabilities that provide deterrence. The F-22 provides those capabilities for today’s contingencies as well as for future conflict. It is important to remember that the F-15 was operational for 15 years before it was first used in combat by the USAF.
