I couldnt be more proud of them.

Same here. What is a real "headshaker" is that it took 58 years to get the Air Force back to the idea that their number one job was to support the Army. They fought it and fought it. All they want to do is strategic bombing and air superiority. But those two missions have disappeared. That's the reason the Army developed the Apache Helicopter, to do close air support. But it is a bust. Just too easy to shoot down with ground fire.

The "Combined Arms" reform of the services is really paying off. Now we will see if Rummy can take it even further. We don't need the F-22 Raptor or the Joint Strike Fighter. But they will be tough to stop. What we do need is a new aircraft to replace the A-10 Warthog, which did one hell of a job.
