We should still be building F-14s to this day.

The Navy and Air Force list their own specific needs for an aircraft and all Congress sees/hears is "I need a plane to shoot down other planes and drop bombs." And that boys and girls is how the F-35 was born. Could argue the F-4 as well, and the F-111.
