As a retired AF officer who has served/fought in action against everything from large enemy AF's to terrorists to flying cover for peacekeeping as well as the UN, I must waive the TOTAL BS flag! F-22s are as necessary as nuke subs, HUMVEEs and bullet-proof vests. Stop engaging in THIS WAR MYOPIA!! We MUST INVEST in modernizing all of the military to defend us against danger in the entire spectrum of potential conflict. The F-22 and its brother the F-35 will deter and if necessary win a conventional conflict and prevent those conflicts from going nuclear. Your jobs argument is BS too. The workers are exercising their 1st Amendment right to petition the government . Our nation's AF needs 60-200 more F-22s and over 30 campaign studies validate that requirement. Spew your anti-military venom if you will, but the uniformed military needs the new equipment (AF and Navy) since they sacrificed much of that modernization to fight the current 2 wars. Let's not repeat the huge mistakes of the post-VietNam era.
