You lack the grey matter necessary to rise to the level of being obtuse.

I didn’t say you were. Just pointing out that the F-22 will also carry ordnance on external hardpoints.

It has been a disaster of a program. The VMA community disagrees.

Even the Pentagon is getting tired..... Nah, that's just some 'crat noising off, trying to ingratiate himself with the 'Rats. I suppose that means another handicapper is calling the election for Barky, and wants to be on the winning side, while riding his glide path to retirement.
'Rats and 'crats, birds of a feather.

When you crash 50% of the A models and have a shipboard mishap rate 15 times the next most dangerous aircraft, it is hard to call it a success.

"The Super Bug can't operate from the deck of an LHA/LHD. Now what's your "solution"?
Get the Marines out of fixed air, which they never should have had in the first place. Turn all fixed air duties over to the Navy, which makes all the sense in the world anyway. There's no way we're sending the Marines to hit the beach in real combat without a supercarrier nearby anyway. It's way past time to cut all this duplicative spending just because the military branches are going "Oooo, I want one too!".
