By late next month F-22s will have shot down over four dozen balloons!

It's like when a lawyer tells the client not to do a 2 billion dollar deal after a 5 minute conversation and charges $1 million for his time. It's not the effort, it's what was avoided. They call it the Department of Defense for a reason.

Do you become an ace after 5 ballons or do the ballons need to shoot back?

Wonder how they picked who the lucky pilot is to get the first F-22 air to air kill. Draw straws?
