USAF Looking at Another Bite at the Raptor Apple
Despite the best efforts of the Pentagon, which has determined that further F-22s are not necessary, the US air force is still trying to buy more of the gold plated fighters. (paid subscription required)
Of course, the USAF has said for years that they need 381, but now because they see that this number is impossible, they are trying to go for about 100 aircraft less, specifically something in the 250-275 range.
There is a word for this behavior, insubordination, and the civilians who are constitutionally in charge need to put a stop to this.
