Have you been keeping up with the proposed cuts in the Army? I have and with good reason. Combat power. Unless you're the most silly think tank member or part of the airpower can do it all mafia, you're aware that wars are decided by young men standing on, and owning real estate.
You can't do that from the air.
Additionally I'm a Marine Corps snob. The Marine Corps is a shock force. A rapid response force. Even a crisis response force if you want to use the latest buzz words...but it isn't an Army. So to keep the Marine Corps "pure" we need the Army to do the jobs that the Marine Corps isn't designed or optimized to perform.
So I read the latest by American Mercenary with alarm.
The Army is getting shredded. Raped. Destroyed. Whatever you call it it ain't good. Check out his article here, and understand the drama. Combat power is being cut...and Ukraine proves one thing. We don't live on a safer planet. A weaker Army means even fewer options for decision makers and did you notice that the action in that country involved 99% ground forces? An air centric defense is a fools thinking.
