I have friends that have flown or still fly in the USAF and they aren't lairs. You would not be saying things like this to their face. Who the heck or you to judge anything like that! Have you dog fought in a fighter jet, do you know what it takes? I'll tell you that all Air Forces (military) fib a little on all sorts of things. Is anyone actually going to say....we have the crappiest jets or weapons....heck no. Look at Iraq, they thought they were good, but that didn't work out too well for them did it? Sure there may have been a few times where a better/newer aircraft got beat. You can't win them all sometimes and sometimes things just magically line up for the other guy.
You love to argue in these 2 sub-forums about how this sucks compared to that. You are going by reading the internet, do you realize that a lot of things aren't 100% true. Deception is a good tactic used by people to get more stuff.....a.k.a military funding is one of them. Do you have any idea what actually happens in a military in day-to-day operations? So before you start assuming stuff that you don't know the full story, maybe think first about it.
