re: #313 Ziggy_TARDIS
The last up close naval action the US had was the Persian Gulf War, and we haven’t had an Air-to-Air battle of any significance since Kosovo.
I’d not be hasty to be judgemental about that especially in an election where RETIRED generals are endorsing whom they please. There is very good reason the Navy and AF have not had a pitched huge fight. One, we have avoided a superpower v superpower fight, and that my fellow lizard is a very good thing. Smaller nations do not challenge air and sea dominance. And the point in part of a military force is deterrence. AKA nobody died in a hellstorm
