There is a common misconception that is held by the majority of liberal Americans...

That is that all future wars will be of a terrorist or gorella warfare nature. It is possibly the case, but I doubt it. Actually, we still need to project our forces in such a manner as to defend from ALL types of military threats. Not just simply from lightly armed terrorist cells.

It is critical that our weapons systmes be of top quality and technologically advanced, or barring that, be such that monetary contracts are delivered to companies to retain the technical help necessary to build such systems.

If the F-22 is not technologically advanced enough to meet projected agressive conflict, then I must counter that the contrats are in place to retain the technical know-how and skill levels of the engineers who will design the weapons systems of the future.
