Or merge them with the Army, I never clearly understood the reason behind the Airforce becoming independent of the Army other than "Other nations have an independent airforce."SEREMAKER wrote:

Or maybe I couldn't find a better explanation other than wikipedia which sucks. How about instead of saying I am a moron, you can instead explain to me the reasoning behind it?Jay wrote:

merge the army and marines, then the air force and navy.War Man wrote:

Why is the navy separate? Because they work at sea. The army works on land, and the air force works in the air. The only odd duck is the marines, but they aren't even a real branch.War Man wrote:

Also, Navy happens to have aircraft working in the air, too.
Oh look, Marines have aircraft too.
Every fucking branch has a fucking airforce of its own.

you mean airwing division
I would ask why do we still need the marines if there hasn't been an amphibious landing in 60 years, but I know I would get flamed for asking that so I won't.
think of it as a ground force aboard a aircraft carrier that can jump on a helio and have boots on the ground within hours
hence why i said what i said a few posts upDoctor Strangelove wrote:

army's airwing is practically dedicated to support of ground troops.War Man wrote:

navy's air wing is dedicated to support of it's ships
air force is dedicated to air superiority. lerp.
Why even bother to consider merging the Army and the Air Force? The administrative overhead just wouldn't be worth it.

yeah it would be, the DOD budget wouldn't be the gigantic $ as it isunnamednewbie13 wrote:

take a 100& of the airforce, shave 50% off and divide the other 50% between Army and Navy .... sounds easy doesn't, well it is
Army re-establishes the Army Airforce, they expand the airwing division to accommodate an influx of new personal and planes
Navy expands their branch to absorb new personal and take over airforce bases that are along the seaboard both stateside and overseas
close down all other Airforce Bases - Airforce Academy stays but now is Army/Navy Academy
Air National Guard stays but is listed under Army
of course all personal would not be transferring over to either branch
would it be a hair pulling experience, yes but thats life
It wouldn't change anything. Totally pointless.

To coordinate large scale air missions and the logistics tied to them it's best to treat it as a seperate branch (i.e. airforce). That's the reason.

The Army does so well with deep strike. It would be an awesome idea to turn strategic bombing over to them.

Fuck Israel
You know how shitty our Economy is.... They're actually fireing service members..
Wow 15 years ago the recruiters were all but sucking dicks to get people to join, now they're full. We as a country are fucked and I can imagine that the Army and the Airforce aren't far behind with letting people go.
