SpaceX developed their tickets from blank paper without old hands from the conventional space industry guiding them. As a result they have massively cut costs and are routinely doing what old space tells us was impossible. The F-35 fills the same role as the Senate Launch System. It has accidental gains in terms of new technology and advanced airframes. The military expertise of the USA could be maintained just as well if the USA would take simple measures like lifting the bans on supersonic planes put in place to kill Concorde ;)
