There is a new effort by the Straus Military Reform Project to inform the public about our high cost weapons that are also huge performance disappointments. Worse, they contribute to the negative trends that have beset our defenses for decades: a larger defense budget means forces that are smaller, older, and less ready to fight. Find a new YouTube video on how the F-22 fits this description at http://www.cdi.org/friendlyversion/printversion.cfm?documentID=4507.
If you prefer to jump the link to CDI to see the video, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1hDI2URVVA.
