BTW, I am NOT air.
I think my comment was misunderstood. I agree with you but also diagree in some instances.
Air takes out the enemy, allowing the grunts to move forward, "consolidate and hold gains". Is removing the enemy, tanks, arty not a gain ?
Air Power "supress and overcome the enemy." - then the boots move in.
Same as an Arty barrage on the objective prior to crossing the start line.
"It does not win battles"
I think a few in Afghanistan would say that Apache's have won a few battles for the boots on the ground ? Would you agree ?
At the end of the day, you still need boots on the ground to win overall.
