Like the Hornets and the recently retired F111...or even like the King Airs.
C'mon R&H, you can't expect them to fight these days - that might interfere with the career progression plan. At least in the Army they are accountable to a land force commander (someone who should be in the fight) to achieve set objectives.
I would go further and move every tactical asset used in support of land force operations to the Army. Everything that could serve a maritime, CAIRS and/or air defence role - to the navy. That way the air force can be happy running around commuters in 'tactical' King Air's and BBJs, completing 'rest' tours on PC9s.
