We should have lots of (comparatively) inexpensive warplanes instead of a few gazillion dollar video game based gadgets. A swarm of FA-18s, Warthogs, etc would be far better.

For the USAF, cost considerations rule out massive swarms of aircraft these days. In addition, our adversaries are more certain to be deterred by a USAF that has combat aircraft with unique, near unbeatable capabilities than by one that instead attempts to rely on overwhelming numbers.
