It's a misconception that the current administration "killed" the F-22.
F-22 Raptors will still continue their production run, but it will cap at 187 fighters from the previous 194. This will be partly offset by the cheaper, single-engine F-35 in all its multi-service variants.
We learned a lot about dispersal of war materiel manufacturing and basing, thanks to Pearl Harbor, Germany, Japan, etc.
It left a lasting impression on some, including President Eisenhower, who thought that the Autobahn was a darned good idea for moving troops and equipment cross-country in time of war. Hence the Interstate.
And those long straight stretches of interstate in the Great Plains sans trees, utility poles, etc? Part of SAC's SIOP, and still very much part of the game plan.
