So therefore, the current administration has elected to ignore that requirement and stop all funding for the F-22 Raptor. I’m not suggesting that we need – or do not need – the F-22 for defense…

President Obama will tell us his comments fit the mood of the crowd, but when I first heard Obama’s comments in South Korea stating hundreds of troops in uniform was a good photo op, my eyes rolled. Our American forces are not a political tool to be used by politicians in constant campaign mode as…
