” the air force was the “chair force””

Yeah thats what I always say about those Forward Air Controllers. You know the guys who went into Afghanistan before the marines or army. Attached to the Afghan army they called in strike after strike all while basically being the only Americans for a few hundred miles.

Oh well, I was in when the world was safe for democracy and we were of course, spoiled and dumb. Sorry, didn’t mean to offend. Yes, I am aware that the pilots are always the ones who get shot down behind enemy lines and imprisoned. Had no clue about air traffic controllers—that is interesting to know.
