What the f*ck, are you telling me they poured all this capital and effort into a fighter (not to mention hyping the sh!t out of it) just to cancel it over some ill-concived war started by some chimpanzee-looking !@#$%^^&*((*^$#@! who thinks Command and Conquer is like the real world?!
If they axe the 22 what are they going to use as a stop gap, upgrade F-15s to ACTIVEs? Or (what ever higher power you belive in) forbid, they say the F-35 can do the air supiriority role...
