Good points. I to was stationed on a Army installation to provide CAS (Death on call baby) for part of my career.

The USAF is providing convoy guards for the sandbox.

The USAF is providing security in the 'Stan and parts of the sandbox.

The USAF is providing CAS ground support to SOF

The USAF is providing massive amounts of airlift and resupply (those beans and bullets everyone wants in the field.

Oh, and providing RADAR coverage of the USA, alert fighers in the USA, global satcom, global surveillance from space, full nuke capability, and total air dominance of the battlefield so the ground pounders aren't bothered by overhead issues.

One thing I have noted over the years, working with my peers in the Marines, Army RANGERS, and even the odd squid - they were Americans all, willing to put thier life on the line to protect this great Nation.

Even the crummy button fighter pilot sleeping in his bag next to mine.... (I hear about fun meters one more time,,,and BAM)

Well said, ASOC!

It’s only natural for each of the services to poke fun at the other services, but when it comes down to others poking at all the services and the military in general, we need to be lined up shoulder to shoulder in unison and proclaim, “Don’t mess with my brothers and sisters serving and have served .... regardless of service affiliation”.
