How can you possibly like an aircraft that has killed more of our solders before it even gets produced than the F22?
I, along with many others, are questioning your rationale.
F22's are vital to the mission and you need to read the other posts. The F22 is part of a team that feeds off one another and is not as effecient alone.
Besides those are ESTIMATED costs and don't get sucked into the $900 hammer arguement. Once these birds are in full production and more models start emerging the cost is greatly reduced. The last model that does everything under the sun is less expesive than the first one ever built that barely flies.
My point is that there better uses for that money than an obsolete aircraft. The army could be expanded, money for missile defense is needed as well, etc.
