They probably didn't, but they were enormous dickhead prima donnas. I get Lawman's point - they hindered mission accomplishment all while saying, "fuck off, we're above you" to all the Army bros. I have many reasons for joining the AF instead of the Army, but I think you can only go so far with the "well you made your choice" when it comes to something like this.

Utterly invalid point that assumes aircraft development is linear. These planes have been around for a long time for good reason. Operationally, the KC-46 will be more or less identical to the KC-135. It will carry marginally more gas, burn a bit less, and be able to get a little closer to a threat. All for the low price of $250m each. The KC-135 has been around so long because it works fine. A tanker doesn't need to be cosmic. The U-2 argument is shit because they were redesigned and built new in the 80s. The S-model today has a F-118, the cockpit is all glass, and the sensors are the illest shit around. The "newer" HAISR platform that the USAF spent the taxpayer's hard-earned money on is inferior in nearly every measurable category. The Buff can still end the world at a moment's notice better than it ever could, so there's never been much incentive to get new ones. Even after we buy $60B worth of LRS-Bs, we're still keeping the Buffs anyway. Did the chief mention that part? Edit: TLDR: The B-17 was inferior within 10 years of its first flight. The 3 aircraft above are still relevant and their replacements will either be similar in capes, a newer version of the same design, or not even required.

NO.

As someone who went from the AF to the Army, they both suck is many ways. Corporate culture is alive and well on both sides and it is often more important that killing bad guys.

I hope you guys like satire. The AFMC mission is to overpay contracts and needlessly employ thousands of civilians. The AFGSC mission is for "pilots" to earn aviation medals without ever leaving the La-Z-Boy and to kill brown people. The USAFE mission is to import wine to the US through TMO HHG and to send senior leaders to Edelweiss/Garmisch as often as possible. The PACAF mission is to support the financial plight of juicy girls everywhere and to accuse the DPRK of unfounded rumors. The ACC mission is to waste copious amounts of JP-8 by letting primadonna pilots fly really fast for theoretical conflicts that will never happen. The AFSOC mission is to let deranged killers legally murder brown people. The AETC mission is to demotivate young Airmen through endless SAPR briefings (all men are rapists, the briefer said so) and enforce crucial standards (sock color wins wars). The AMC mission is to provide cheap airfare to Hawaii, Japan, Germany, and places in between while dumping cancerous chemtrails. The AFRC mission is to give an alternative federal retirement to folks that hate the Air Force too much to be Active Duty but not so much that they'd give up the benefits. The ANG mission is to create exemptions to standards, pretend to work, and then hide behind governor sovereignty when they fail to meet real standards. The AFSPC mission is to give high-speed satellite connections to every Airmen so they can watch YouTube and to add the word "Cyber" to all possible phrases.

We should probably stop talking about regime change as long as our primary SEAD tactic is State Department diplomats.

Or the DOD's latest overseas POV shipment contract.

You never did it with another person until you got the the -130? My impression of the CAF is obviously way off.
