So far from what I've read it's becoming a PR disaster. The USAF
needs to be crystal clear what they are talking about as the clueless
politicians are already getting the whole mess confused and whining
that in order to put the "A" in "F/A-22" it's going to cost $11
billion additional dollars.

The Air Force needs to sell the $11 billion investment as a "Super
Weasel" that will be needed in the future and not part of the current
development project to deliver the Air-to-Air abilities.

See Dr. Laurence Peter's book for a clear understanding of what is
happening.
