In Afghanistan, the B-1 has flown just 5% of the strike sorties, but dropped 40% of the ordnance. It has the largest weapons payload of any aircraft flying, and can drop 24 2000lb JDAMs on a single sortie. Not bad for an aircraft "uncapable of influencing the action." I could provide similar facts to prove each of your statements is equally as poorly thought out and wrong, but it isn't worth my time.

I've served in the Navy and Air Force, but would say the Marine Corps is probably, pound for pound, the best led and most effective service we've got. But I could give you a list a mile long of stupid things the Marine Corps has done, and even more stupid things some Marines have said. Fortunately, I have my head far enough out of my ass to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each service, and would never claim that any service could win a war without the capabilities of all the others. If you are/were a Marine, stick to writing about the Marines. Your knowledge of the Air Forceis is so gross it merits no further response.

You sound just like an air force wussy. And no, the B-1 has not dropped 40% of the ordance. Don't forget the B-2 at 2 billion a pop.
