I agree with your analysis but I worry that the cost of the F22 is so high that we will be unable to fund a sufficent number of them to survive a MRC. <BR/><BR/>No, I don't have a better suggestion but I worry that we are developing a military with a high-tech "glass-jaw". By this I mean a military that can hand-out punishment but cannot take much punishment. For example, if we have too few F22s then each lost F22 costs us dearly in terms of percentage of air power. Remember Pearl Harbor: at today's airframe production rates the war will be over before a large loss could be replaced.johnhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016524056962644711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-1145718726491271822006-04-22T11:12:00.000-04:002006-04-22T11:12:00.000-04:00Wow.
