and looking back at the Pacific in the same vein: Adm Sweeney displays standard Big Navy tunnel vision. The AF is going to own Pacific theatre with Navy playing JV at this rate.

I don't think that the AF will be relevant in any peer or near peer conflict without some significant overhauls. The service culture has atrophied from 70 years of technological tactical air superiority.

(Not including the strategic bomber mission).

Serious question for the group: what do you think the future holds for manned, surface (CSG) & airborne (All platforms) in the context of a conflict with the PRC in a Taiwan scenario? Lots of arguments and support for space-based, unmanned (air & surface) assets, and Cyber platforms. But do we really think that manned platforms going forward are worth the risk?

I can tell you Big AF is pivoting away from RPA - which surprised me. After the Global Hawk shoot down by Iran in 2019. Also to get an RPA in theatre apparently takes months and months of planning and approvals - 6 months is a normal timeline I heard. Optionally Manned is the new buzz, a la B-21. The lost link numbers are surprising.

None of this post makes sense, Chuck. Who is feeding you this garbage?
