GET OVER DOG FIGHTING???? Isn't that the very reason they put a gun on

non war?.


Vietnam ended 40 years ago.

The days fighters escorting bombers to protect them from the enemy's fighters
are over.

A dog fight these days is a missile from miles away.

The only role left for the fighter is ground support and you don't need
or want to be flying mach 2 to kill tanks and bunkers.
