The new republic are liberals
and apparently no mandatory retirement age in the "rebel alliance", with admiral ackbar still tottering around.There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

There was call to retire the X-Wings - but due to their performance in the CAS role and support from a certain Senator (whose husband used to fly one) they were saved from BRAC."Bother", said Poo, chambering another round.

Whoa whoa whoa- these x-wings do not belong to the Republic Fleet. That was destroyed when the super death ray destroyed Hosnian Prime. These belong to the "Resistance",
some sort of NGO semi-revolutionary group that was acting as the unofficial enforcers for the Republic. They were probably given the x-wings as military surplus so the Republic Fleet could sit in orbit around Hosnian Prime showing the flag and going on liberty. I'll bet there are whole fleets of x-wings and B-wings sitting in mothballs around Hosnian Choice and Hosnian Select in the Hosnian system. Maybe they will mobilize them in Star Wars VIII (or is it Star Wars IIX?- this is why I do poorly on Super Bowl trivia) except that with Star killer base and most of the New Order destroyed and the Republic with their fleet destroyed I imagine the conflict is over and there would be no point.
