Is the U.S. Military Affordable

[Entropy]

That isn't what I said. I was responding to Wilf's suggestion that everything that flies be transfered to the AF. That would include, presumably, all the attack helicopters that the Army now has. Don't focus on the strategic bombing part of the comment I was simply saying that the AF should keep all of the missions that it does now but that it should not be the sole or even primary provider of ground attack capability, ie Army aviation should not be transfered to the AF.

Ah, I see what you're saying now. I wouldn't advocate that either.

Placing a certains number of A-10 squadrons under U.S. Army command seems reasonable.

What do you mean by "under U.S. Army command?"
