having been removed from the military acronym decode distribution list, I'd be grateful if you can elaborate for me
Also, since the SKW is now the ASaC.7 rather than the AEW 7, and given what it got up to during TELIC, I'd suggest that retaining that capability is not solely predicated upon having an AD aircraft.
I'm sure I've misread this but it would appear that AEW is no longer a primary controller of AD. That's not a flippant comment, I'm just out of touch. If I'm correct then there must be a cheaper ground based alternative or is the function of AEW now a meiosis which allows it to engaged in roles that it wasn't primarily designed for? Conjecture, please discuss.
As for UNSC can we really continue to lay claim to our right to occupy a seat when we continue to degrade our military capability? Four tridents boats still means we have to go cap in hand to Dubbya
.
I have a feeling deep in my gut that this is not right, and I know, from what I have read, that the gold scrambled egg merchants of the Air and Sea, on both sides of the Atlantic, agree with me.
I'm not privy to imformation that would enable me to stop the critics on this thread, in their tracks. Mores the pity. But I will endeavor to keep the debate active with a view to encouraging questions in the House of C.
