The main argument for ending the production is that the advanced fighter is not needed in the current war on terror.

That sounds eerily similar to what Clinton said when he downsized the military after the Berlin Wall fell.

There was no need for so much military, now that the Cold War was ended.

Why are democrats so eager to dismantle our military?

Yes, it does seem eerily similar to Clinton downsizing our military. Obama and the leftists are eager to dismantle much of our military.

As for McCain saying the F-22 hasn’t been utilized in Iraq and Afghanistan to justify stopping production is insane, it doesn’t take a genius to know they weren’t needed there but the Air Force says it’s needed in larger numbers to carry out their future mission. It seems the Air Force realizes there’s other and larger threats in the future
