In my opinion....It shouldn't be any other branch putting in/covering/supporting any other branch...Don't send the air force to give close air support to marines unless its absolutely needed. Hence why every branch now has their own air units.
Take the 160th SOAR for example, one of the best helo units around right?
Well, all the branches still have to work together, to achive a positive end...
Yeah but say I am in the Army, I don't want to depend on any other brand to cover my ass and give me support...
Each branch specializes in a certain aspect of war out of necessity. The whole idea behind "joint operations" is to cover each other's needs and weaknesses. As you hinted at, though, the biggest problem is integrating everything into one smooth-operating machine.
Exactly, it's not that I wouldn't trust a brother in blue, but id rather have one of my bro's that I know(or atleast know is wearing the same uniform as me) is covering my 6.
Again, Andy? :roll:
If you go back to those websites and books that you get your info from (notice I did not mention any first-hand knowledge!), you will discover that many of the units that have accomplished the most difficult mission in history have been joint operations.
Your opinion is fine, but leave it at that, and understand that know one cares what a 16 year old kid thinks about how the military is run.
As of now, your "bros" consist of whoever you play computer games with or perhaps that occasional airsoft game. By the time you ever join the military, I hope you have reconsidered your statements.
*ahem*...Of course, never the one to be outdone, lead...
...so...when was the last time you appeared at a game? (Never? That's what I thought.)
Actually, I have a theory that lead is really an acount set up by the MODS so they can all give us a hard time, because no one has ever met him at a game, at least to the best of my knowledge. (This would explain why Christian has never deleted any of his posts...)
Heh, heh. So Lead, from now on, you don't exist as yourself. You're just someone else being an idiot.
Not to speak for leadmagnet (lord knows it's not needed), but you are way out of your league here. He has been to the past 2 Lion Claws events. He does not come to local AZ games because they are hundreds of miles away from his home in CA. I have met him in person, and he is, indeed, a real person. When was the last time YOU went to a national OP?
In the future, you might want to put forth a slight effort to educate yourself before posting such extravagant statements.
And with regards to me deleting his posts, keep readin, keep posting and leave the
Modding to the Mods.
