the Air Force laid out its wish list, and it wants everything: a plane that can win dogfights, demolish air-defense missile networks, support ground troops, and run surveillance missions

A plane that does "everything" will do nothing well.

The F35 is no F22 “successor”.

They share some capability, but they are not equal in terms of mission capability or primary mission.

What a bunch of morons...

When the F-35 was announced, wasn’t there a lot of hoo-haw about how it was the last manned fighter we would ever build?

So this “successor” to the F-22, is it going to have a cockpit or a remote servo?
