I hate to pile on, being a former zoomie, but Army has this right, and AF has it wrong. CAS needs to be in the hands of the organic units on the ground. Not some hotshot supersonic jet jock.

CAP? AF all the way. Own the airspace so the low and slow can support the ground pounders. Bombs don't win wars. Bombs enable ground forces to more quickly shoot, move and communicate. But bombs by themselves don't win wars.

Boots on the ground taking and holding territory, and imposing our will wins wars.

Johnny I trained hard with the Force. We are pretty damn smart and do ground force very hard.
