Thank you for proving my point. War is more than air combat. The USAF pretends those are the same.
“War is more than air combat.”
Duh!
But those who know nothing about air combat probably should not direct it - and it IS part of combat. I’ve been an ALO and I know full well how little the US Army understands airpower.
People on this thread act as if Vietnam was yesterday. Well, I flew F-4s...in the 80s. I flew with a number of Vietnam vets. I also flew with AIM-7Es and AIM-9Ps, and I also worked legacy fighter upgrades before leaving the military a few years back.
This isn’t 1965. Those whose knowledge is stuck in 1965 should not comment on the technology of 2015, or what our needs are likely to be in 2025.
