True as a reassessment may be, the military(Pentagon, I'm talking to you) is notorious for making bad decisions on looking ahead.
-Buying the F-4 as the AF's primary fighter without an internal gun for dogfighting
- Trying time and time again to can the A-10 for some BS derivative F-16 to fill the close air support role (and finding out time and time again that NOTHING on this planet is as good at it as the A-10 at this role)
-Replacing all our aging fighter-bombers with the F-35 (Which I fear will come back and bite us on the arse)
History taught us that when you make an airplane for too many multi-roles, you wind up with one that's not good at any of them (Can you say F-111?)
But time will tell I guess

Should probably just fold the AF into the Navy anyway
