Air Force Will Lose Hundreds of Planes in New Pentagon Plan
The article discusses the cuts planned by the Air Force and being pushed onto the Army.My two favorite quotes are, "Irony: the Pentagon waits to cut the Air Force after fighting a decade of land wars; and the Armys reward for surviving them is major shrinkage." Plans with Iran would rely predominantly on air and naval power. Libya was mostly air power, and the Pacific is clearly a naval and air arena, says Dunn. I would note that my naval friends say the Pacific is 75 percent covered by water but its 100 percent covered by air. Posted by: Mike Ramsey 2012-01-04 |
