The only way these fighter jets will engage in combat would be against Russian/Chinese jets, and if things go sour that much, we're fataed so badly not even 100 jets will help us.

I think they should be making sure they take both.
Drones and jets.
I don't think we really have to worry about a Russian or Chinese invasion, as the US will help us out, but it is nice to at least do our part in NORAD.
I think we're in the unique position where we can put forth a reasonable budget to constantly upgrade our equipment all the time. The US will buy the big stuff like aircraft carriers and subs.
