br> -- Thom Bateman br> Newport News, Virginia /p> p> Quin Hillyer replies : br> I am deeply appreciative of all the letters, especially those from current and retired military, and including a number of letters written to my private account rather than for publication -- some of those letters taking issue with my position, some of them saying that from their experience in the Air Force, I am right on target. I am in no position to argue with any of them. I stand in awe of their service. /p>

I continue to believe that, in the long run, competition offers too many advantages to ignore, as does the flexibility the Air Force would acquire by having two different aircraft to meet unanticipated needs many years down the line. But as long as disagreements with my conclusions stem from considerations other than purely political ones, I utterly respect those who disagree, and I thank them for their letters.
