<<We have to keep pushing military technology to the limit.>>

Right, there's no trophy for second place in a war. The better our technology is, the fewer losses our people will have. Also we can keep the damage to innocents to a bare minimum.

Being the worlds only super power and the main policeman, we have to be powerful enough to be challenged less. Show them up front that when you hear no, you stop or die.

Air power is the best way to go. It makes the Special Forces one real powerful force when one guy can get back up from a dozen Tomcats with precision guided weapons almost instantly.

The transformation of the US military relies on awesome airpower.


Agree. But the point is, "How much is enough?" With the F-35 JSF coming on line, and the f-15,16, and 18 still better than anything around, we could use the money on the next generation, instead of on a F-22 Fighter we don't need.
