Yes I have to agree with Col. Hessler. If all this high tech stuff works then why did B-52's end the fighting in Yugoslavia, or why has Bin Ladin not been found, or the war in Iraq is going on as strong as ever, or they don't take out the nut cases in N. Korea. The "salesmen" who said in the 60's that the missle will replace the gun on aircraft and fighters will not be needed are the same types who promote all the high tech stuff. Also in the 60's they promoted the F-111 as a wonder weapon. It's come and gone, the B-52 is still here and will be around longer than the B-1 and the F-117. I read that the F-117's are already being retired.

Give me a few Rambos and some RPG's and I will invade Poland ! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
