While this is very true I didn't say every, I said average, I think it's pretty accurate to say that most every current F-15, F-18, F-whatever pilot has not "smoked a MIG" during their career.

Also I suspect that a war with China or Korea would have a lot less aerial battles than one might suspect, if I were to venture a guess I'd say a DDG-1000 and a pair of Arsenal Ships parked next to it off the coast of China would be enough to take down most of the Chinese Air Force (should they decide to all be in the air at the same time).
