    From the article:
    "...the F/A-22 is the absolute most-awesome killing machine I have ever, ever flown."
    "This is the 'let's go kill people' software."
    "...use the information you have in the cockpit to go and kill somebody..."

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having a great military and defending freedom and whatnot... But is it any wonder that other countries see Americans as barbaric imperialist bringers of doom?
