At Odds With Air Force, Army Adds Its Own Aviation Unit

<p>Yes Buckaroo it is good for her, and long over due. It has been 28 years since the first female Academy grads began entering the services, and I am sure General Dunwoody will do just fine. We can look for several more in the years to come too. By the time you have your 28 in you may even see a CNO, if for nothing less then speeding the anuerism some old brown shoe Navy guys have been nursing for some time.</p>

<p>Petko as for the new Aviation element the Army has deployed has much more to do with funding then Close Air Support. Spooky is always available to them when they need someone to bring down the rain and save their behinds. They have thousands of AH-64 longbows available for CAS, and god knows sure wouldn’t want to be below one of those things if I were a bad guy. Living in the home of the UAV I can assure you unlike some Sea loving ■■■■■■ the AF cannot feild them fast enough. They could track all your classes pilot slots to predators and global hawks and not meet the demand. Every ground commander wants those eyes.</p>
