It's tough to be happy or sad. I fear the day of the Navy fighter pilot are numbered. However I am excited about the tech leap and that one day we may not need to risk the lives of fine young aviators in air combat. Rail guns, lasers and 24/7 killer drones. Damn! The only thing we need now is the ability to bring down asteroids on top of our enemies and make it look like an act of God! Oh snap, maybe we can do that now too!
