Sure. I could also argue that the full mission capability 3 Rhinos are capable of may be less than a flight consisting of an F-22, F-15E, and an A-10. There's an argument and counter argument for every decision. In an ideal world our platforms are modular so we can take advantage of both specialization and standardization.
WHOA dude, F-18 can do all of those things, put down the crack pipe!!!!
