So you won't post facts or sources regarding your contentions only your feelings and what you think?
Those are grounds for being called out as a troll and DUer
What service were you in, because you obviously didn't learn that each service has its OWN part of board to control so that the other can get its job done.
Again, the F-22 was not, is not designed to blow up ragheads in some god-forsaken sand box. It's job is to shoot down as many enemy fighters as it can so that ground forces can do their jobs without worrying about enemy aircraft.
If, as you claim, you served 20, you are part of the DS/DS era vets. You must not have paid attention to how the USAF didn't "care about the other services" for the first few weeks of the war before the Army and Marines finally rolled in on Kuwait and Iraq. SZ
Sadly, it’s because of my service and my time on a joint command staff (for an AF 4 star) and, truthfully, I met a lot of really great people in the Air Force (where my brother served for 24 years so don’t anyone be disrespecting the B-52!) and the other branches too!
What I said earlier stands, but isn’t the complete body of work. I am troubled by the lack of concern the AF has in the field because it costs lives! I know this all too well people.
I’m retired now but miss those days.
And to you present Air Force personnel, it’s okay to sneer at the other services but don’t let it get in the way of safety and please, for crying out loud, think before you launch that missile at an unknown vehicle because it could very well have a fellow patriot in it!
