I understand this fully.

I WILL say that there were those of our sister services that did not share our (Air Force) general opinion that INDIVIDUALS become warriors...and that it is not granted to you by the color of your uniform. :)

It's just not the job of Air Force personnel to assault a hill, perform movement to contact missions, etc.

Who is to say why one person ends up in one branch of the service over another? Could just be one recruiter was better than another. All I can say is why I went Army. I like tanks and always have. Even then, I started out enlisted in the Chemical Corps (I liked chemistry in high school) before being commissioned in Armor later. I wanted combat arms, but didn't want to walk :)

Personally, I would never be comfortable in my tank if we didn't have air supremacy. You keep the enemy aircraft off my tanks and we will keep them away from your bases. And hopefully, the Navy will keep us both supplied :D

I will say, during the first Gulf War, that some Army friends of mine loved the ugly-assed A-10 Thunderbolt II like nothing else! I was stationed at RAF Woodbridge, UK, back when they converted from F-'s to A-10's. An AMAZING platform, perfectly suited to the second biggest mission the Air Force has, ground support to the Army.

Re: Campaign Questions
