Besides, I guess the Fighter/Bomber designation from MD says they

Just because the F-4 was a fighter-bomber doesn't mean it was ever
called "FB-4". The F-15 is a fighter-bomber as well, and it isn't
called
"FB-15" either.

I already admitted to that about 7 years ago. But you are playing into
the
404thk00ks game here. No, it wasn't but it easily could have been since
all
others before it carried that designation. But when you put a B up
there
certain agreements with the Soviets became in question. The FB was
dropped

Funny but in a previous post you claimed the USAF never used the FB
designation.
Of course in other posts you claimed they had.

Wrong. You are confusing what you drivel with what I report. Now, go back
to playing with leturd and wrecking yet another Military NG that you
404thk00ks are so infamous in doing.

and never returned even though you can nuke load out many fighters today
and
use them for ground attack as well. You will note that the FA
designation
is pretty well gone as well.

That would be news to the USN and the USMC F/A-18 drivers

No news here. They know the days of the FA is limited to never return.
That will be the last AC that will carry that designation. Much like the FB
was phased out for exactly the same reason. The new Superhornet is classed
as a Multirole Fighter now that the F-14 is gone. I won't bother explaining
to you the system since you don't have the capacity to understand it anyway.

Funny but the F/A-18 was considered multi role from the very beginning.

And I didn't know you worked at DOD and made decisions on what aircraft
are designated. For all we know they may call the USMC version of the
JSF F/A....

I can see it now, 40 years in the future, someone will say that there used
to be FA Aircraft and some idiot like you will go into the same routine that
you are now over the FB.

The tiny differance is that 40 years from now it will be easy to find
any number of sources that will show the F/A was used as an aricraft
designation by both the USN and the USMC.
In this case you can't provide one single shred of proof the F-4 was
ever designated the "FB-4" by any service OR its maker.
