We need high middle and low tech weapons. Just as F1 auto racing is the proving ground for sophisticated technologies like traction control, anti-lock brakes and advanced engine management controls that eventually find their way into the family sedan, so to are the ways of the military.

However, as with everything else, the devil is in the details. How much, how soon and how many. What we have and need now may or may not be what's needed in the future, so preparedness and flexibility are the key.

The one consolation in an era of $2 billion per copy bombers and $150 million dollar fighters and so forth is that someday, perhaps, war will be simply be too expensive...

The F-22 v. other seems complex. I'm unsure of it. But it gets into the capibilities of the fighter jets and the current needs.
