Truly noncredible, I know, but I had the idea pop into my head and couldn't let it go.

USMC Aviation was put over US Army Aviation because US Army Aviation doesn't operate the sexier forms of fixed-wing aircraft.

"Most powerful" instead of "Largest" used on purpose.

I always feel the Air Force looks down upon close air support in favor of their more strategic mission. But they would never let the Army take CAS from them.

In case my opinion isn't obvious, Everyone else has planes, why not the Army too?

If you don’t think the Apache is sexy, you’re not an aviation enthusiast.

Apache let's us window shop. It knows we're coming home with it.

We're married not buried

The German Sea Tiger Marine helicopter, although not an attack helicopter, gives me funny feeling in my pants when I see it in pictures.

Looks like a MI-17 had a baby with a UH-60.

You like that aircraft… check out the CH-53K King Stallion. They’re not without their problems, obviously, but if you’ve got to get it off the ground… there’s nothing the US has at least that has a comparable lift capacity.

Nice, number 3 is a sub branch of number 2 even if they don't want to admit it. Your point still stands tho.

Nah the Navy and the Marines are both under the Department of the Navy, but they do way different things. Marines mostly get rides from the Navy and the Navy don't fuck with land, they let the crayon eaters do that.

Navy Seabees fuck with land. They built many things for us. I got my first shower in months in the middle of a desert because of them.
