What aerodynamic advantage? Your entire argument is incorrect. You do realize that while in full sweep, the low aspect wing has a higher induced drag which bleeds energy very rapidly, decreasing speed. High wing aspect ratios have low roll rates. So as wing sweep increases the aspect ratio, the roll...

The biggest differnce between the army and usaf versions is lack of a sat link for control.
