               We have drones and cruise missiles. Why do we need - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 13:26:00
                    another false basis - FootballRefugee MU - 12/12 13:27:59
                         You didn't tell me why we need them. - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 13:36:23
                              Here you go.... - Spanky KU - 12/12 13:52:01
                              F-15 and F-18 are decades old platforms. The idea was to - TigerMatt STL - 12/12 13:46:18
                                   Stealth and advanced avionics being key to that transition - Spanky KU - 12/12 13:57:31
                                   Even without the F-35 we'll have air superiority still - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 13:48:37
                                        As airframes age, the maintenance costs skyrocket. The F-35 - TigerMatt STL - 12/12 13:57:56

                                                                 The Syrians are defended by Russian aircraft... - Spanky KU - 12/12 14:23:42
                                                                      We aren't currently attacking Syria or Iran though - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 14:58:55
                                                                           We PLAN for future threats..not react to them. - Spanky KU - 12/12 15:21:43

                                                                 Proxy countries such as Iran will have an air force. - Coors4bob MU - 12/12 14:18:15
                                                  And SAM technology improvements need to be counteracted.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 12/12 14:01:39
                                                       This is another good reason, thank you - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 14:03:16

                    not correct either. It is supposed to be the swiss army - SuperTone MU - 12/12 13:27:03
