SocraticGadfly: Can we just junk the F-22?

Can we just junk the F-22?

Let Lockheed-Martin build drones for pennies on the F-22 dollar rather than continue to build this worthless piece of crap.
Pierre Sprey, a key designer in the 1970s and 1980s of the F-16 and A-10 warplanes, said that from the beginning, the Air Force designed it to be "too big to fail, that is, to be cancellation-proof.”

And, Congressional pushes, to buy more, more, more of this albatross, reflect Lockheed having subcontractors in almost every state. And, I’m sure some of those Congressmen also cite the recession as an excuse for more military pork.
