Stealth fighter pilots' planes making them sick. Air Force to pilots: Get over it.

Pilots of the US Air Force’s F-22 Raptor stealth fighters are experiencing choking, coughing, memory loss, confusion, and blackouts (hypoxia) because of the way the planes are designed. At least one fatal crash is blamed on the phenomenon, and even ground crews have been sickened while working on F-22s when engines are running. The Air Force says there’s nothing that can be done.
