    Outstanding article, THS. It’s nice to see us gun bunnies still have a place on the battlefield.

    Glad you enjoyed it, Guns. The Airforce does kind of forget that there’re folks out in the field when it’s raining, even if a gazillion dollar plane is safe in the hanger.

    The infantry* still rules the battlefield…..much to the chagrin of the Air Force and tread heads.
    ========================
    *: Supported by the combat support and service support branches, of course….not the least of which are the Engineers.
