Existential Question: The Air Force?

[Adam L]

Given our frequent discussions of the Air Force's role, structure and capabilities, I thought it would be a good idea to have an open forum on these issues.

Here are the issues: What should the Air Force look like? How should it be structured? Should it be split up? Should some of its capabilities/duties be ceded to or shared with other Services? What aircraft should it acquire or develop? What aircraft should be retired? Should enlisted men be allowed to be pilots? (Any similar or related issues are welcome.)


The possibility of making these changes a reality is not an issue in this thread, nor whether the Air Force should paint faces on the sides of its aircraft in order to win “hearts and minds.“
