I can't say it any better then Photon.

The F-22 is not made for air to ground. The F-35 can do air to air and do it better then most of the current fighter inventories out there. It will get killed by a dedicated interceptor.

Hostage is schooled in the American strategy of different fighters in different roles.

We'll send in F-14's for air cover while F-18's go into the mud.

We as a country don't have that luxury. We have to have the best multi-role fighter that we can get that's at least a generation or so ahead because we need our fighters to remain relevant and up to date and in service for 30 to 40 years.
