did you bother to factcheck anything? no. if you even made the most modest attempt to, you would have at least gone back to the original source, which is to say, pogo from which this was regurgitated from.
pogo though is the actual farce here -- despite their officious sounding name, they're just another propaganda interest group. they're majorly funded by phil straus, whose father is/was a board member of mother jones, a leftist tabloid.

pogo has absolutely no expertise in this matter and i'm not even going to take the time to begin to shoot holes in their spin because there are so many things wrong with it.
you should be ashamed to even have bought into this drivel as a combat aviation enthusiast, playing dcs [even as incomplete of a simulation as it is of the matter] should have shed enough insight on what constitutes real priorities in cas.
