I am more for rolling the USAF back under the Army than for reducing the Navy, especially the carrier forces. Expand the Navy! I say that as a former zoomie. semper coffee cup.

Hell, I want to bring Curtis LeMay back and make our Air Force the beast it once was. Give the Army their damned A-10s. There’s more to fighting or deterring a threat from a nuclear armed mega-nation like China than fielding a couple hundred thousand Army infantrymen in Humvees and Bradleys. As important as the Army is in Afghanistan and Iraq, it is not the end-all and be-all of a credible deterrence or war-fighting machine.

Pournelle makes a pretty good argument for that former.
