Ghost, how is an F-35 like a satellite?
I'll give you we both have fighter jocks. We have the best jet though in the F-22.
I'm not sure what the cyber troops do, to be honest. Perhaps they do fend off cyber attacks. I doubt the Marines have such posts. As a computer guy, Epitaph might want to check it out.
Do you guys have satellite controllers (I don't know)? Do you have missileers? (You don't.)
There are plenty of jobs the AF has the Marines don't.
Broken, I defended the nation just fine by making sure the satellites were working and the jets were flying and the radars were working. So no one was firing at me personally. They sure as hell were firing at our jets during Desert Storm. Sure, some of the Marines were getting fired at personally. I'm sure some had desk jobs too.
Not everyone can or would want to be on the front lines. Without support troops the people at the front would lose. So I'd be careful deriding them, Broken. They outnumber you.
I do take your point, however, about not antagonizing a Marine...
