Let me translate: "All these darned pesky little "war" thingies keep getting in the way of buying and playing with all the new toys that I want!"
When he mentioned the part about fulfilling the current fight with technology developed 20 years ago, I threw up in my mouth a little. Especially since I'm currently reading quite a bit of material which documents how the Air Force has consistently fought to avoid supporting the Army, or even allowing the Army to support itself with CAS since the Air Forces' very inception....
Now, if they would roll out even ONE system that would support a COIN fight, by design, I wouldn't be so negative on them. After all, I am a big fan of the F-22 and the technology that made it possible.
