Indeed, laser tagging airplanes is stupid and an act of terrorism. But what also is stupid is that a $339 million dollar airplane, the F-22 Raptor, can be compromised by any civilian with a $19 laser. Also, it's sad to see that JBER is whining about laser strikes when the FAA estimates that 400 laser incidents occur each year with commercial flights. If these fighter pilots are whining about lasers now, wait until they start flying commercially. It's a whole different story when you get lasered while flying a plane load of people.
