Sort of. My take is that the F-22 is indicative of the fact that the USAF leadership blew off The Administration's direction: fight the current "war" in the Middle East. That war requires ISR,... and lots of it. The F-22 is great for a war with China,... but that's not going to happen anytime soon. In fact, many "experts" figure that will end up being an economic war anyways.
But, if the Combatant Commanders (including Navy and Marine flag officers) want ISR assets, then f'ing deliver them!. YOU are the force provider. And if you don't provide the assets The Bosses need to kill the current bad guys, you are going to get canned.
Disclaimer: I'm an ISR guy. I'm biased toward ISR. I've seen the light. ISR is good. Ask any Marine or Army ground guy. Ask the Commanders of PACOM, CENTCOM, SOUTHCOM (can anyone say "Key West"???), EUCOM,....
If you don't have good ISR, what are you going to attack/bomb/shoot/kill/interdict/laze?
The new SecAF and CSAF will be proponents of ISR, and embrace The Administration's guidance.
While there are many worthy candidates, Gen Chilton is a tremendous leader/warrior/mentor/officer/pilot.
