My father was a bomber pilot in WW2 and he told me he was a captain in the US ARMY. I am pretty sure he would not lie to me about that.

I’m sure he didn’t. You’re still wrong though.

“The U.S. Army was re-organized into three forces in March 1942:

Army Ground Forces (AGF). According to the The Army Almanac, “Its mission was to provide ground force units properly organized, trained and equipped for combat operations.” About 4,400,000 personnel were part of the Army Ground Forces during the war. They sustained about 80% of the U.S. Army casualties.

Army Service Forces (ASF). The ASF, originally called Services of Supply, was responsible suppling and servicing the U.S. Army. Organizations under ASF included: corps of engineers, quartermaster corps, medical corps, signal corps, chemical warfare service, ordnance department, and the military police.

Army Air Forces (AAF). The AAF was responsible for the training and making ready the air component of the U.S. Army. The Army Air Forces became an independent service (U.S. Air Force) in 1947.“

Depending on when he went it, he was part of the Army Air Corps, the Army Air Force, or both. Or if he stayed in until 1947, the US. Air Force too!

But but but - the keyboard warriors sez it ain't so!!!    

Black keyboards upon their desk
These are men, the neocons' best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Keyboard.
