I spent two years in the Army in between two four year stints in the USAF. It took three MOS Army NCO’s to do the job of one USAF NCO of the comparable AFSC. I was used as a triple MOS the two years in the Army waiting to get back into the USAF. There are more than enough cases of USAF men fighting with and along side Marines and Army and many cases of USAF men giving their lives to rescue Marines or members of the Army. Any disparaging remarks about the willingness of USAF to endure or fight are made out of extreme ignorance. I worked with Navy, Army, and Marines and all had respect for me as I did for them. Every branch of the service has the cream puff specialties and the rough ones. God Bless America.

We both know that does not describe the Air Force in general, what are their combat losses since their creation 63 years, and several wars ago, what are the 63 years of ground combat losses, since you brought it up?
