And please....making a bomber out of the Raptor is just stupid. They've already tacked on attack capability to it, but a dedicated bomber? That's just a damn excuse to get more funding for the whole Raptor program, which Congress hates. USAF chafes at the fact that they'll never get over 189 of their new sports cars.

Didn't a certain German psychopath instruct his underlings to do this to the ME-262? It is very inexpensive to learn from the mistakes others have made. Do the people who make these decisions have any knowledge of history?

Yup. Adolf Galland was tearing up the skies with his jets, and then Hitler says "I know...we'll turn it into a bomber!". Hitler went from tactically daring (and even brilliant) early in the war, to an absolute idiot late in the war.
