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.

So you’re a big fan of Obama’s drone execution program, where he goes after one “terrorist” and ends of killing a couple of hundred men, women and children. But that’s OK, since it’s “collateral damage”. As long as the great and powerful American Ceasar Obama says it’s OK.
Unmanned droves as the future of air war is the dumbest thing that has ever came down the pike. All the brainchild chickensh*t miliary-dodging democrats who think war is just a game to be played for their enjoyment, and if 1000 innocent lives are taken as a result of their games, they could care less, as long as it’s not their children getting blown apart.
