The Army ran them fine, and still could.
The Air force has earned it’s reputation of being a pampered money pit, sucking money from war preparedness.
The Air Force insisted that pilots fly drones, not just pilots, but they had to be on flight status, a twisted ankle made them unable to sit at their desk and fly drones, it took a huge amount of pressure to force them to quit playing that flight status game.
That is the nonsense that the Air Force is famous for, it is more a pilots club, than a gritty combat force focused on war.
Absolutely disagree.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking g when the north Korean spies were trying to kidnap me. Gee I wonder what my tee time is?
About 60% of the POWs from the Vietnam War were AIR FORCE fighter pilots. The majority of the rest Navy fighter pilots. Don’t want to hear this BS that the Air Force has no role in today’s military. When you have competent presidents, and competent Sec of Defenses the Air Force certainly has a role. The US Air Force is the air warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces. That sorry Rumsfeld is the one that came up with the braindead decision to not use the Air Force much in the current never-ending wars in the Middle East, and to make all services look like clones of each other. Without a doubt the dumbest thing the Dept of Defense ever done was make all service wear that same desert camouflage BDU as their uniform of the day. Every time I go to an Air Force base and see all the Air Force personnel walking around looking like they work for a Red Horse squadron I can’t believe what I’m seeing. Nothing remotely resembling what the Air Force looked like for 50 years after it’s birth in 1947. I asked one young airman did he ever wear blues anymore and he looked at me like I was crazy.
