He didn’t say it wasn’t a good plane, or that we should get rid of them. Surely you think the military should stay cutting edge. Why not have both the old and the new? It is not either/or. But it is foolish to think we can go on forever with old stuff. Hello?
You are arguing against something he did not say. It is a futile conversation.
Getting rid of them? Replace with what? The BUFF is still the best at what it does. Other needs need addressing first. Besides he was wrong about the numbers too. Don’t get me wrong, I respect him, but he should back away with 6 or 7 others.
