“I take it you’ve never seen an Artillery Battery fire a Battery 4 Mission, nor been 2 klicks from the impact as the concussion shakes your track.”

No I haven’t done that. Have heard the SAMS, Vulcans, and AA cannon used during an exercise.

Most impressive thing I have seen is two squadrons of F-16s on the runway in rows of 4. All 4 rolling and taking off in pairs. Then all of those planes doing a mock attack on the airbase as I was standing on the roof of HQ. It was an amazing display of power, precision, and technology. Made me darn glad they were on my side and they weren’t dropping bombs on me. I’ve seen the blue angels and the thunderbirds multiple times. This was far far far better.

Can you artillery battery cover 500 miles in less then an half an hour to hit the bad guys about to over run a SOF team in the crap?

Leave the air force alone. They earn their pay.
