The Senate voted Tuesday to remove $1.75 billion in funding for 7 new F-22 fighter planes- a victory considered important for President Obama, who intends the army to focus more on anti-insurgency warfare.
I'm glad they voted this way. It doesn't really help the national budget any, but it is time to adapt. The Soviet Union no longer exists. Terrorism and insurgents, however, are a threat. You can't defeat either through air combat. Bombs are useless against decentralized enemies.
