i wouldn't be surprised but when all you have are enemies, you choose the ones who can assist. a lot of our tech came from having to look inward and develop ourselves which i'm proud to say was years ahead of the time. the us adopted some of the tech many decades later such as the v-hull on your mraps, fire and forget, look and fire, flare and infrared systems, targeting systems, helmet related hud avionics and tow target systems - at least you guys got the positives from our loss... but all in all it was our leaders that fucked us over - we were betrayed... won the war, lost the politics..
