Reply #22: It sure as hell doesn't use any of Colonel John Boyd's theories on military tactics

[BrotherBuzz]

or even the E-M Theory

Reduced to its basics, Boyd's work hinged on thrust and drag ratios. * * * The E-M Theory, at its simplest, is a method to determine the specific energy rate of an aircraft. * * * In an equation, specific energy rate is denoted by "Ps". The state of any aircraft in any flight regime can be defined with Boyd's simple equation: Ps = *V or thrust minus draft over weight multiplied by velocity.

I can't help but wonder if the armchair pilots operating this new system were recruited directly out of the video game parlors in the malls. Oh, and to further the ruse, the Air Force installed dummy token slots on the side of the console. :shrug:
