RE: An Additional ‘Thought’
Do you remember Gulf War I? Do you recall the famous ‘Highway of Death’?
Our air forces, Air Force, Army and Navy Aviation, had a ‘field day’. What amounted to a modern ‘Marianas Turkey Shoot’. I do believe we slaughtered almost 100,000 Iraqi soldiers as they tried to flee from Kuwait. The road was blockaded with burnt out vehicles—tanks, BMPs, cars, trucks, EVERYTHING—for miles.
That was all accomplished by achieving what is called ‘air superiority’.
If you don’t have THAT, or worse, the enemy has it, your ground forces are pretty much in a world of hurt.
History has proven that time and again. Did you ever study the history of that?
