You make a very good point. The F-5 is suitable for most interceptor roles (detect, identify, intercept and destroy).

I would, however, substitute the A-10 for the A-37. The Tweet was never designed to do much more than teach second lieutenants about the ratio of lift to gravity.

The A10 is a monster compared to the A37. The A37 was derived from the Tweet, but it isn’t a Tweet. For grassfire stuff, it is up to the job.

The A10 is overkill for domestic security, IMHO.

And, in my case, to test my ability to keep my lunch down during spin training.
