And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
a single spool turbojet, well designed, is all one needed to hit Mach 2+ with the original Lawn Dart designed by the true master, C. Johnson. none of this two spool complexity of trashy P&W oil leaking compressor stalling trash cans. the entire airplane was a rational design meant to meet specific design and tactical requirements-short range point defense interceptor-of the customer who then went and screwed the pooch by trying to make it something it was not designed to be. New hotness would not come to be until the F-16 arrived, it only needed another thirty square feet of wing area to be all that it could be.

it isn't necessary to consider the F-4 as any kind of hotness. Imagine a ferrari driver being put into a pickup truck and told to go race it.
