Honestly, in my 28 years in uniform and the last six in civil service I’ve never seen Air Force aviators downgrade our Army aviators.

I'm an old Army guy who's never been into that inter-service rivalry stuff.Yes,I want Army to beat Navy but I'm not gonna badmouth other branches...even though the Marines badmouth everyone else! :-)

I’m retired USAF (officer). I’ve also been an ALO and did a tour in Afghanistan supporting Army operations at the BDE level. I did an exchange tour with the Navy. My daughter was in the Marines. My son was in the Army.

Never had any interest in inter-service rivalry either.

As for pilots in the USAF...many reasons why they leave ASAP. Low flight hours is usually high on the list. So is a strong distrust in the military leadership.

My son got out of the Army. Said he was tired of officers with the brains of door knobs, making and following rules generated by PowerPoint wonders. That is why a lot of pilots leave, too.
