The Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force all have rifles too?

Yes by all means combine the air power under one service (Let's say the Air Force). Then the USAF will have a sea going wings, sea to shore wings, close attack wings, strategic attack wings. This will all be very confusing, and of course to integrate nicely, these wings will have to be subordinate to the on scene commander. So the sea going wings will be permanently attached to the Navy and be called something like USAF Naval Force. And so on, and so on. Different aircraft will still be required for the specialized missions, but there will be a cost savings on items such as motivational posters.

The units would be permanently attached, but not the pilots. They should be able to change out at will. Being carrier qualified would be just another qualification, kind of like being airborne qualified for an infantryman. God forbid, though, that'd force the USAF and Navy to come up with the same airplane to do the job (like the F-4 was) and we'd never do that.

Ground forces could *really* benefit from consolidation. Consolidate doctrine, military education, procurement, supply chains, all that stuff. The long term savings could be tremendous, and the tactical and operational efficiency of our soldiers could be much, much higher.

Competition is a good thing in government, too. Although the separate services fight turf wars, they also try different things. Sometimes one stumbles on something that is of benefit but was ignored by the other services.

One big thing almost never works very well no matter what the bean counters say.

This was my first thought, exactly. Planes are weapons, weapons that each branch of the service needs at its immediate disposal.

Look, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't see anything broken about the current system of distributed air power.
