I might add... I've always been an aviation buff, and I was recently forwarded an article about the performance of the newest USAF fighter, the F-22, in exercises. This was through an email list, and I asked with whom the US is in competition that we need such pricey weapons. It seems to me that at the leading edge of technology, "we" (the US) is mostly competing with itself.

The most cogent (and cynical) reply came from a Navy engineer, who said the arms race I ask about is between the US Air Force and the US Navy...

I suspect we're gonna get redirected soon :)
