It's a battle that has been going on since 1947. Some in the Air Force do not think Close Air Support should be the function of the Air Force at all and that is the opinion of the Army as well. The Air Force has always been commanded by fighter pilots with certain exceptions such as Curtis LeMay, they dont speak low and slow very well. All political.

Gotcha. I had forgotten about that.
