The General's thought is ill-informed methinks. The systems are affecting the pilots rather than the pilots being ineffective. The oxygen generators for example...

The F-22 is still unproven in combat so hard to make that choice.

Lovely piece of engineering but I question its usefulness in a military environment increasingly leaning towards asymmetric warfare.

According to "Business Insider," no military aircraft is fully capable of flight and among those that miraculously have gotten airborne, there are no pilots who can control them.
The next thing I expect from "Business Insider" is for them to hang Billy Mitchell in effigy.

Grady - you may know the intrepid Editor-CEO at BI is Henry Blodgett. Truth is an artform there and driving traffic with suppositions is paramount.
