Great comment. I’m glad we both recognize the institutional hypocrisy when we see it.
This is also the same forum that almost had an aneurysm over Harriers getting new radars and AMRAAM years ago.
We did that with the Growler too, years ago. In a weird turn of events, I now teach them to use that new radar and AMRAAM. We're maybe not as hard up about it as you think
