[X(] Also, if the roof blew off and a bit of debris landed on these planes, do we really think the USAAF writes them off at that price tag? I'd guess not. The cost is not likely as high for the skin and bones as it is for the electronics and internals.

quote: Ending F-22 production was a mistake IMO. Simple answer is the F-22 is just too expensive. Even for the U.S.

quote: ORIGINAL: anarchyintheuk quote: ORIGINAL: Anachro I don't think the US would ever consider an invasion of the Chinese landmass and vice-versa. Vizzini specifically recommended against getting involved in a land war in Asia. I wonder if we're as smart as he is. We've been involved in at least six major ones since WWII. Many more if you define parameters down.

quote: ORIGINAL: Alfred quote: ORIGINAL: Bullwinkle58 And the next total war is going to last thirty minutes. I'll see your 30 and raise it to 90. After all, 90 minutes is the time frame in "So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)". Of course that depends on the Russians or the Chinese not having heard it which is a fair bet for AFAIK, none of his work has been translated into those languages. Alfred Ninety from receipt of the EAM, decoding, key dispersal, setting 4SQ, launch, and flight time? That might be closer to correct. Thirty works for most ballistic arcs though.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a story called "Superiority" long before most members of the forum was born - vacuum tubes were important. 1951. You had one side in a great interstellar war that had wondrous weapons that were fragile and didn't always work the way they should. You had the other with the philosophy - quantity has a quality all its own. I haven't read it in decades but...
