The Air Force, in it's never ending quest for more funding, is retiring the F-117 Stealth fighter. (actually it's a light bomber) They are putting them in mothballs in order to free up money to procure new toys. One of the items that the AF wants is a NEW tactical combat sidearm. What is wrong with the current sidearms used by the Army Special Forces, the M9 Beretta 9mm, or the SIG P229 or Springfield M1911A1 or Springfield XD in .45ACP used by the Navy S.E.A.L.S and Marine Force Recon? The AF needs to stop acting like prima donna's and start acting like they are part of the military instead of a bunch of frat boys.
