I cannot think of one weapon system that has delivered for USofA corp since 1970. Indeed since 1970 the treaty of Rome seems to have put the brake on USofA corp successfully.
Of course your correspondent is ignoring the trials and tribulations of P47s, F86s, Midways, M48s and all the other good things that good men gave to good men to beat the bounds of freedom.
