[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2365048, member: 3099"] The F-35s and F-22s serve a legit purpose. These things keep us at the top of the ladder. We should have such tools at our disposal. But with that said I think that the "Soviet model" was and still is the correct approach. Would you rather have 100 F-22s or 1000 F-16s? Not safe? I beg to differ. You do realize that when we retire our last B-52s that they will be over [B][I]ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD[/I][/B] right? Properly maintained they can go as long as we want them to, it just becomes a matter of whether replacing them makes more sense. When it comes to defense contracts it's a fine line to walk with the balancing of the technology to keep our capability superiority and all the back scratching. [/QUOTE]
