Area 51 is a testing facility, so it will be needed. The F-22 is a Cold War Relic that is very expensive and not needed. None of the services want the
jet, only Congress as it is a nice pork project.
Secretary Gates is looking at the budget to increase the number of personnel and to get rid of duplicated systems. There is a lot of waste in the DoD,
and most of that is for Congress members pet projects.
