Given the Air Force track record of support to the Army, the Army has every right to call the ball on this unadulterated grab for dollars and power.

They are living up to their new motto: “We won’t fight and you can’t make us” The USAF has a real problem trying to convince soldiers and Marines who have been fighting their guts out for the past 4 years that they are still a part of the Armed Forces. This remark does not apply to the Air Force enlisted combat air controllers and security police who are fighting side by side with their smelly Army and Marine brethern - only the perfumed princes wearing wing who populate the POAC.

Those Air Force pilots will take on any mission they are ordered to do. The problem is not the pilots. They will put their butts on the line any time asked. The problem is up the line and inter service rivalry.

Does it apply to the deployed pilots and aircrew who are flying their asses off over Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere? They certainly want to take it to the bad guys. BTW, what is a "POAC"?
