USAF isn't needed, just a bunch of wannabe warriors, been told that right here on FR by "supposed" Vietnam marine vet. That being said, nothing lights up the world like airpower, and most ground warriors I know like it when CAS comes in......

The support all the Marine OPs in Al Anbar. Here is one
example from the Marine OIF web site:
