I disagree with the author. We are not simply a Global Strike Force. We always have been, and continue to be, Air Supremacy; a portion of which is Global Strike. Without Air Supremacy, there is no Global Strike because your bombers get punched out of the sky by...supreme air power.

A good example is the advent of the P-51. It helped our war supremacy by escorting strategic bombers, killing German pilots, and making tactical runs.

Wow! You're correct. The author jumped the tracks in the very first paragraph. Didn't have to waste much time reading it

CPT Jack Durish Of course, the article was written by a former Navy guy, and there is definitely beef between air guys in the Navy vs Air Force...LOL

The mission of the Air Force is to, "Fly, fight and win". Plain and simple despite the year's of bullshit changes, it all comes back to that smiple mission statement. Does the AF suffer from the fighter pilot mentality? Yes. Fogelman saw it and tried to make changes but was fought every step of the way. The corporate AF mentality needs to go, the AF needs to get back to the warrior's mentality.
