Yeah the F-22 really is useless without a military industrial complex behind it. And a defense use. Sort of a parable about modern products really. Self driving cars with no maps, phones with no updates, no app store. Our best products are really infrastructure products, supported by a cast of thousands. But the painting stands on its own and a decent pair of leather shoes will get you from a to b just as well as they did centuries ago. If I remember rightly the most universal item of soldier's kit throughout all history was the spoon.
