It seems that the Chinese version of the F-22 will be deployed sooner than expected.

Maybe we'll get lucky and find out they copied the oxygen system from the F-22.

Nice.

The day that a J-20 sneaks under US radar and is able to buzz American airspace is the day I eat my hat.

Hmm, Gus. 
You're in good company.  Reichsmarschall Herman Goering said that if Berlin were ever bombed, you could call him Mayer.
Maybe a group photo of you and Herman.  He could be getting raspberries, while you apply Hoisin sauce to your chapeau.

Don't do it Guss! Not on your chappy! Remember what happened to those guys on Amazon who put some kind of cream stuff on their bells&clappers!!! Chinese creams and sauces are probably worse due to all the MSG!

Was Goering a cowardly sociopath?

I thought the entire Nazi leadership was pretty much cowardly and psychopathic. Goering may have been the exception - I can't remember his war record in WWI.

His record in WWI was rather notable. I believe he flew in Richtoffen's unit and was regarded for his skill as a pilot. His weight gain and drug addiction came on after he was shot during the Beer Hall Putsch. Not to excuse him and his actions as a Nazi, but I think a lot his issues were related to the morphine addiction.

^That's correct, Goering was a lot of things. But cowardly? Well, not in his younger years.

Perhaps he was a coward who flew on Liquid Courage?  Somehow, I doubt it.
