I'm sure they do, but are stealth fighter jets really the way to go? I'm no military expert but I'd say unmanned aircraft (for example) makes more sense as these planes can be used in real situations/current war on terror.
The only way these fighter jets will engage in combat would be against Russian/Chinese jets, and if things go sour that much, we're fataed so badly not even 100 jets will help us.
