I agree. That would seem to be the place to use old F-15s and 16s.

We lose them in non-combat, too.

I’m sure the liberals will flood the streets with outrage tomorrow decrying the ills of the military industrial complex.

If one “mysteriously” crashes or is lost...I will consider it highly suspect.

Why? Does ISIS have anti-aircraft that is that sophisticated?

I love the F22, but when we’re all done pin pricking them will they finally run away?

So tired of these ANKLE BITER missions.

Kill them all or kill them all NOW. There really is no option.

I had fun with a libtard who I see sometimes at work...he was a Bush era war protester and I got to ask him when the protests were restarting now that his hero Zero was bombing with no war authority, backed by his mythical coalition of phantom allies.

I also asked if Obungler had a better strategy than the body counts that so outraged the Vietnam era protesters.

No answers and just an angry stare. Made my whole day.
