The Air Force is based on the notion that long-range strategic bombing is the only weapon we need to win wars. That concept was never valid.

Not quite. We don’t have 5th generation fighters for our bombers protection. We have them to own the air everyplace we fight. Except over water which of course would be naval aviation. recent example F-22 intercepts Syrian Mig without being detected even in daylight. Got within 2000 feet, knife fighting range before choosing to makes themselves known.
