The Air Force has long had a superiority complex when it comes to the Navy and Marines. The name of the general escapes me, but the ranking Air Force general in the European theater towards the end of WW2, made the statement “why do we need a Navy?”

Lol, the Air Force has been selling snake oil since way before they were even the air force, then the Army Air Corps. The sad thing is, many of them actually believe their own propaganda.

It is not coincidental that Mr. Bush and Mr. Rumsfeld had a JCS chairman who was a USAF general. Both pretty much bought the USAF propaganda.

Remember the "Shock and Awe" campaign? You just know the USAF had a committee at the pentagon come up with that little phrase.

I called it Blah and Jaw from day 1.
