The real question is if the AF needs both the F-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter. Both are awesome aircraft with unbelievable capabilities. But, does the AF really need two new fighters and would the money be better spent on UAVs?

My answer to the question is no, they don't need both from a capbailities standpoint. They can't cancel the JSF because of the international commitments. The F-22 way overbudget and has been basically kept alive by Congress to keep jobs in their districts. When last I heard, we weren't selling the F-22 anywhere.

For my money, I'd rather see the money spent on UAVs like Predator, and apparently Gates agrees, but the AF is run by pilots and they don't want to give an inch on manned fighters.
