There is no use afterwards. You don't see them in Iraq do you? They do they job the F-15Cs did before a few seconds faster then go back to their climate controlled hangars for the next episode of desperate housewives.

If we were attacked they would do a good job of hitting the first wave of enemy aircraft. Yet then again the remaining work can be done with F-15s and even F-16s. Not to mention the badboy F-18s once the other forces get involved.

And by the time the enemy gets enough numbers of some uber craft that can wipe a F-15 away by looking at it. It wont be manned.
