You forgot to mention about how the other services also 'adopted' M-16 or various versions of the AR-15 only after to take the bitter pill much like US forced the round onto NATO to only change to another version than the one the US Army had pick in return.

For what its worth, the Air Farce finally admitted what the USN/USMC is saying as to lifecycle costs for the F35 being much more than expected - especially the day to day costs of keeping it in the air is going to be more than any other bird out there.
In essence: Don't see the F16 line being shut down anytime soon....
