The military seeks to establish "full spectrum threat dominance". Basically being able to take on the worst imagined threat. Which is a problem, IMO because chances are that threat will never materialize and lead to an overbloated military (not numbers, but cost/capability wise). It is nice to have platforms that are better than everbody elses, but that doesn't mean EVERY platform has to be built with that same philo$ophy. This is a doctrine that also tends to lead to military leaders dreaming up imagined threats to justify new hardware.
