60 Minutes: Is the Air Force's F-22 fighter jet making pilots sick?

DoD has had EVERYTHING marked as Top Priority for quite a while now. Sequestration is likely going to deflate that balloon pretty violently. If it forces them to prioritize, I'm interested to see how those priorities will shake out.

Can't speak for how it is with the other services, but the USAF has never been smaller in size than it is now, and has also never been asked to to as much as it is doing now with aircraft this old and "behind the times".

IMHO, everything is critical. There's no "more with less", there is only "less with less", and so far politicians haven't been able to either grasp that or open the purse strings.

Less with less, though, should be the goal, in my opinion. There are too many missions. Everything IS critical because everything is needed to do all the things you guys are being asked to do. They - being your Commanders - need to be doing less overall, so that priorities can be assigned. We can't keep playing Global Whack-A-Mole.
