The Air Force is important. I understand that. But no significant military objective can be obtained without boots on the ground.

I say that as a former zoomie.

Agreed. Dunkirk. All those Brits and free French rescued off that beach would’ve been captured or killed en masse had the Germans done more than just strafe them.

Winning wars has always been about taking ground away from the guy who’s trying to hold it. You can’t do that with air power alone.
