when the army and marines need air support. Who do they call the Air force. (Bring on the A-10)



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.

Exactly. Marine Corps / Navy CAS > Air Force CAS.

And Jeb, you are right, but only the infantry can hold ground. You can critically wound with air power, but you can't win with it.





Really wanna argue that?


B-2 16 nukes?!? anyone wanna be in the area when they drop them? Probably no. see USAF 1 Plane hell just drop 8 of them on say Iraq, Wars over and im at home sipping my tea.

To achieve the same thing they would have to send every Army person over there for years.


Seriously We need to nuke someone else... Look at the japanese they seem to be doing fine now.

STFU about the B-2. We get it, you work on it and love the plane. Its been proven and stated time and time again, you can NOT win wars without troops on the ground. PERIOD. Air power is a great weapon and tool to devastate the enemy with, but boots on ground hold the land. The situation with Japan and nukes was a different situation. We were winning with them and would have continued to win. The nuke broke their back in more ways than one, but would not have accomplished that without the ground troops through out the Pacific theater.
