The ridiculous number of casualties we will take against the PRC would justify having hardpoints to place racks on every new built airliner in the US (and start reinforcing the underneath of older airframes to also support racks). Pop off cruise missiles when the PRC has its SAM forces together and drop JDAMs as a CAS aircraft when the SAMs are defeated and the ground forces need support. Make every civilian airline pilot and their maintainers members of the USAFR and they have to practice these missions one week a year in a simulator (barring that if laws do not change and invite them to do so). Cheap bombers and we can take an awful lot of casualties and still have more planes and pilots.
