HQ/USAF web pages seem to be maintained by pentagon "blue-suiters", rather than by people who had daily interaction with the systems and aircraft.
Add in the USAF's general desire to maintain a "low profile" - particularly about operations and capabilities - and they don't "toot their own horn" much.
How much of it is disinformation - rather than sloppiness or honest ignorance - is anyone's guess. Great sites if you want to read a general's biography, though !
