I'm just saying that faulting a F-117 for not being a dog fighter is silly when it was designed to be a bomber.
The real reason to retire the F-117 was because the B-2 could stealthily deliver more bombs anyways and they wanted to free up funding for other projects, not because the F-117 couldn't dog fight. That wasn't its job.
