The F-22 and JSF fighter aircraft programs may be slashed by Pentagon planners as part of a move to address growing budget concerns, according to a recent news article.
Both programs are guarded jealously by the Air Force, and cuts in the JSF program would also affect other services destined to receive them as replacements for current aircraft.
Such plans, if implemented, would receive strong opposition from those in Congress interested in preserving the projects' benefits for their home districts.

Comment: Both the F-22 and JSF are necessary to assure American superiority in the face of growing threats from increasingly sophisticated foreign air forces. It is short-sighted to slash these programs in the belief that the only threats we face are those from foreign terror groups.
