Is the Air Force essential or outdated?

Back in the Cold War - it was the Strategic Air Command (Peace is our Profession) of the USAF that kept the cold war from turning into a “Hot” war.

<p>Actually, it was the Nuclear Triad that kept the Cold War from turning hot. The triad included B-52s on constant alert, land-based ICBMs, and submarine-launched ICBMs.</p>

Back in the early 90’s a lot of people thought the Army was outdated then - remember the downsizing that came back to haunt us???

</p>

<p>That downsizing was supposed to be the peace dividend for winning the cold war. The Navy and the Air Force were also downsized.</p>
