Always amazes me that the institutional habit of robust, logistically flexible, 'good enough' US equipment that got us through the second world war seems abandoned in favor of a blind pursuit of the 'cutting edge' that more resembles the German approach to materiel in the 40s.
But then I suppose that is what happens when you are always looking for one more 'technological offset' to sustain strategic incoherence and overreach that demands dominance everywhere at all times.

I guess what amazes me is that the F-35 was supposed to radically reduce the number of types in service for efficiency, but when it's all done we will replace 5 types (F-14, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, AV-8B) with...5 types (F-35, F-22, Super Hornet, F-15EX, whatever this new LWF is).

Don't forget the wan hopes that the F-35 would let the Air Force ditch the A-10!
