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.

W6EZV has been SK for 20 years now, and he was a great warrior. I wish we had Air Generals of his caliber these days.

I spoke with a bit of hyperbole, I do think the USAF needs reorganized to meet today's threat, but I would rather see them disbanded than our Navy gutted. IOW, I don't really want either to happen, but our carrier fleet strength is and has been our cornerstone in our ability to project power at incremental levels.
