Please, you're both wrong.

In the Air Force we live in Kansas, North Carolina, Texas or Germany, occasionally taking trips to Guam, Korea and the Sandbox.

When there's a war you might be gone for four months if things last really long.

The officers do the bulk of the 'fighting'; we can destroy the world hundreds of times over from a room 40 feet underground, hit 80 distinct targets with GPS-guided bombs from one aircraft, and decimate infantry and mechanized forces with AC-130 gunships.

Our ASVAB scores are clearly the highest, and no doubt our entire enlisted force could be commissioned today as Army or Navy officers, resulting in a marked improvement in both services.

Plus we're better looking.

Figured the junior service might respond sooner or later....but can you claim territory? Not deny it, or destroy it, but claim and hold it?

Not knocking the Air Force contribution, just pointing out the obvious difference in roles.

Besides, I love the Air Force....whenever anyone asks me how I could ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane, I always respond; "If you've ever ridden in an Air Force plane, you'll know that none of them are perfectly good."
