I'm not talking about getting sneaked up on. I'm talking about ROE that
have not a thing to do with the capibility of the aircraft.


Even close in, they have short range missles to do the job.

I'm not advocating not having guns. I just don't think they have much
relevance, in all but the most unusual conditions. I sure could not justify
taking away from an aircraft's ability to stand off and fight, to have that
kind of radical maneuverability.

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time that the US took down an enemy
plane with gunfire alone?
