"...many good men had career changes..." It's a little hard to believe someone's on the high-ground while apparently unconscious of sexism. Might as well hold up a flag with "entrenched cultural views of the establishment" written on it. This doesn't aid the counter-argument against the notion that the F-22 was designed to fight a "defunct Soviet threat."
Let's face it. Japan and China are feinting, in the way that nations do silly things that ultimately get settled through war, at some random rocks with natural gas nearby while only 10m gets spent on focus fusion development and 4trillion with a 'T' flows through the fossil fuels industry every year. Meanwhile we seem to still fight wars on the back of outright lies ("yellow cake?") and carry out dragnet surveillance to figure out Angela Merkel's plot to bomb the white house. Let's just say I have some problems with the overall priorities in this picture.
On the other hand, assuming defense(?) actually is important, we have carriers that cost billions and are complete sitting ducks to anti-ship ballistic missiles like that China has developed, which have stealthy, guided warheads apparently. Good thing we have Aegis cruisers guarding them to intercept any wayward missile bodies that might also impact the carriers. Military spending is worse than healthcare.gov.
