Yes, he did basically ask for a court martial to air his grievances. Clearly Mitchell was not a perfect prophet, and the article makes that clear, but he was broadly correct in noting that air power would be critical to winning the next war. The question is, are military leaders blinding themselves to what is coming and more importantly, are they dismissing those who see things differently? I don’t have the answer, but the question is worth asking because it impacts everything from strategy to procurement and force design.
