In the past 50 years, the US Air Force kept the Soviet Union from waging nuclear war on us. The US Air Force kept the communists from taking over South Korea and Western Europe. In the past 50 years, the US spent seventeen trillion dollars in The War On Poverty, and to what end? Generations of welfare recipients whose only accomplishment is that they vote Democrat. It’s time for that Peace Dividend from The War On Poverty.
“In the past 50 years, the US Air Force kept the Soviet Union from waging nuclear war on us.”
Nice that you leave out that Navy’s ballistic missile submarines which are much harder to find and thus destroy compared to fixed bomb magnets such as Air Force bases.
“The US Air Force kept the communists from taking over South Korea and Western Europe.”
And let’s ignore the Army and Marines in South Korea that hold the line, and ignore the Armored Cavalry Regiments in Germany who’s mission was to grind any Soviet advance into Germany to a halt at Fulda and Hof gaps allowing the heavier armored and infantry divisions to mobilize and move to the front.
