Now that is a very, very, salient prescription....
Stop talking sense!
Though I must say that 500+ mph doesn’t always make sense over countries that are smaller than most of our states. And the A-10 still has a mission that the F22 and F35 can’t match. Which service wanted to kill the warthog right before Desert Storm lit off? Maybe just CAS needs to go green. ;)
You have hit the nail! The United States Armed Forces have not won a war since the Joint Chiefs were created in 1947.
I served in the Air Force for 5 years and flew with WWII “Army Air Corps” pilots as they were retiring. I always thought their talk of “the good old days” was just sentimental memories. I soon learned that they had good points. We are now over populated by top heavy bureaucracies in ALL branches of military and government.
THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN WHITE COLLAR WELFARE AND ONE REASON THAT WE ARE UP TO OUR EYEBALLS IN DEBT!
Sorry for the yelling,
Bat
