My son was a Navy Captain and he had several buds that were Navy pilots, and they constantly derided and joked about the air force and how soft the air force had become.
I know that way back when I was in the Army, the ground pounders had little to no respect for the air cargo carriers.
We were jealous of the better accommodations the AF jocks received while we slept in the mud.
I will say that anyone that received air cover when the cong were blowing the GIs to pieces, were thankful they got it, and didn't give a rat's ass that the fly boys slept between clean sheets at night.
There was nothing like it in the world, being in IRQ when the A-10s would come over, watching C-130 gunship flying over in a figure 8, all of them watching over our convoys up and down hwy 10 between Baghdad and Fallajuh. Same thing on the Pakistan border in AFG, A-10s were the sounds of the calvary coming to the rescue.
The Chair Force as my Army son calls them. But my Navy SIL pilot has a lot of respect for AF pilots.
