LOL Right!
And in reality, the Marine Corps doesn't need the Air Force to get around...hence the term Marine (My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment)
Maybe not to get around, but a B-52 or B-1 with JDAMs can loiter through lunch and dinner, unlike the "one pass, need gas" Hornets and Harriers that you jarheads use to carry iron.

About the coolest thing about my job, I can say:

B-2 isn't really a hang-around-and-bomb type, is it? I always assumed that they'd be sent out after point targets, not to hold in a pattern and wait for FACs to call them.

Orrr... they call their own F-18s, Harriers (if they decide to work properly that day), Prowlers, C-130s, Cobras, Super Stallions, Hueys, and Sea Knights. But hey who's to define what "air support" is?
The Air Force does it's job, which is well executed, planned air attacks. From a distance. Marine Air is in the thick of it, communicating directly with Marine ground forces. And NOT waiting two hours for a CO's approval of the CO's approval.
And it's Marines, not marines. You may get away with that crap with the army, but have some respect.
