Things have changed sine the failed Iranian Hostage rescue mission. There is better inter-service cooperation. I am retired Air Force and it change alot during my last 5 years of active duty. Most old timers wouldn't recognize it.

During my time in Joint Service my CO was always a Marine. I have several medals awarded by Marines. I was with Soldeirs on the Front lines, patrol and all. I spent Float Time on the Enterprise. Helicopter assaults, etc...

When it come to CAS this isn't the Air Force you bad mouth. Ask a Green Beret or a Ranger who got a little CAS from an AC-130. Or an A-10 Pilot Those are the true believers.

If you did a little research, the Army has the most Assault Helicopters. I appreciate those guys. But no-one can't beat an A-10 or AC-130 when it comes to Time Over Target.
