Due to the fiasco at Minot AFB?
“Due to the fiasco at Minot AFB?”
Minot was the straw that broke the camel’s back. This has been a long time in coming, with lots of prior skirmishes... USAF’s attempt to hog all UCAV’s, the dispute over F-22 numbers, shipping the nuke detonators to Taiwan. But the big elephant in the room has been USAF’s insistence on focusing on Russia and China instead of the current wars. Gates all but accused on blue general officer of insubordination on the issue. There’s rumors that applause could be heard from the other three branches in the Pentagon today.
