Rain Rain Go Away

I never seen a F-22 figher here in Tallahassee. This is probably due to several things: lack of airforce base in Tallahassee, no prominent population terroist target and the amount of rain. Wait, what? Rain? Yes rain.

According to the Washington Post:

The aircraft's radar-absorbing metallic skin is the principal cause of its maintenance troubles, with unexpected shortcomings -- such as vulnerability to rain and other abrasion -- challenging Air Force and contractor technicians since the mid-1990s, according to Pentagon officials, internal documents and a former engineer.

So if a war were to erupt over Bolivia or maybe Venuezela near the rainforests, the F-22 will be essentially too expensive to be put to use. I don't see how the engineers aren't scrambling to redesign that skin. If not, they're pretty much failing.

So while the engineers are redesigning the coating, why not give some funding to much more awesome stuff like a cyborg moth. That's right, instead of Arnold coming back from the future and saving our butts, it might be a random moth. According to Fox News:

Inside it [moth] will be a computer chip that was implanted when the creature was still a pupa, in the cocoon, meaning that the moth's entire nervous system can be controlled remotely.

Isn't that so kickbutt? I totally dig that.
