Ok, I got some of that, but as a total newb, I'm lost on what DCA and AI (air intercept?) are. Could anyone offer any insight?

He bowls overhand.
Not that I agree with the article, but a lot of people are missing the author's point on this one. He is not advocating disbanding the AF's assets altogether; rather, he is suggesting that the AF should be rolled into other services, like Army Aviation. So we'd still have all the above toys regardless.
They act like it would really be any cheaper to simply move money from one hand to the other. If anything having the services divided the way we do insures that the leadership has a better focus on the interests and doctrine of that service. Think about it, how much robbing Peter to pay Paul would you see if the AF suddenly went away and all of Air Combat Command and Air Mobility were suddenly folded into the Army. Now we have Tank and Infantry Generals making decisions they have no experiance with. The Navy guys would have better experience with this than anyone else. Look at how the funding and emphasis shifts depended on whether the CNO is an Aviator or a Shoe. Hell the Army hasnt even thought of Aviation as its own Branch for very long, god help us suddenly getting the AF mission too.
I make it through half................of your sentences before I'm drawn back to the left by the gravity of Puma's huge cans.

So I take it my avatar is popular?
Yes. Quite.
I guess I'm the only one who actually looks at her face...which makes me wanna slap it.
I always wondering who the hell that Lance Corporal is who is sitting behind her. We need to track him down and give him his luckiest boy in America medal.
I get there eventually. Its sort of like bumper bowling as a kid. Bounce around the bags for a while and then eventually try to hit something hard enough to knock it down
Ok, so I never took the time to notice the LC beside her....I was too distracted by something else. Makes me curious, do you regularly order barrels of loafer lightener? :icon_tong
No, my SA is just awesome.
