Henry: I must be getting senile to not remember that the military would have it's own set of definitions. I was in the Navy in the latter part of the 50s, and I didn't agree with their definitions then, either.<g> But, using the definitions you've referenced, I'll concede your points...humph, errmm, hmph.<g> I've never considered the military of that era, WWII, as having given excess credibility to air power since it was considered to be subordinate to the main service corps...The Army Air Corps being the precursor of our Air Force. But then I wasn't privy to their thoughts <g>, nor have I done much reading on WWII, relying on what I saw in the newspapers and especially newsreels, as well as anecdotal conversations I overheard.<ng> I was very young when the war ended, but many of the memories are still quite vivid as that war involved the entire country to a degree that's hard to imagine today. I'm still not so sure that it's the military that imbues air strikes with such strategic importance...I'm inclined to think it's more of a political evolution because we sustain fewer casualties, and it makes for great TV.
