    This is a true and a sad observation. The air force will not win any war, it is time to realize that.
    I am not knocking AF role in the overall success, but the mere concept that a war could be over with 80K feet bombing should be buried.

    Yep. Can’t beat an insurgency with the AF. Even with guided bombing the main thing they’ll be burying is too many civilians.
