I just don’t like any article that talks about cutting the military, especially the service that I am well familiar with. I am a retired Air Force Senior NCO, with two tours in Southeast Asia. I gave the best years of my life to the US Military and I’m damn proud of it. And it pisses me off to see another worthless democrat dismantling the military.

That sounds emotional, but military readiness sometimes needs looking at, not everyone is convinced that moving the air corp to it’s own branch in the heat of the post WWII climate, still make sense, or is efficient.

It isn’t like they are discussing eliminating air capability, or firing them.

For one thing, manned aircraft is on it’s way out, something that the Air force is fighting tooth and nail, as I pointed out in an earlier post, they even fought to require not only pilots to sit at the desk and fly drones, but the desk jockey was to be removed if he wasn’t physically flight ready.
