A Service Can't See When Leadership Has No Vision

Surfing the net this morning I caught this nice picture over at the Small Wars Journal by Tom Ricks as well. In looking around some more I noticed Mike sharing his wisdom at abu muqawama's place, a link I really need to add to the blog.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. SteelJaw Scribe covers the Naval angle very well, in fact after reading his analysis and commentary I shook my head for several minutes. What is it with those people?

I was a bit upset last week when I heard the Air Force isn't getting anymore Raptors, but not anymore. Screw em. Take a close look at that picture, note what the CSAF sees as the problem.

Only the air force would see a strategy as the problem in a budget discussion. That is what they are saying about the Navy is it not? Who thought this was a good idea for a "Leadership Forum?" It would be a real tragedy of government leadership if Congress didn't rake the air force over hot coals for this nonsense, after all the entire purpose of the CSAF exercise is to get Congress to take a closer look at the Air Force during the budget process.

I say give them their wish.
