The Air Force is at times joking referred to as Our country's paramilitary service by some other military members. I can't give them a Five because, although, they somehjow or other manage to do a good job when the chips are down, compared to the other services (or at least, to the Army and the Marines), they really do waste a lot of money on unneccessary frills and perks. Officers clubs are lavish, barracks are better than anything the Army could dream of, and bases are overbeautified. The USAF officers I have served with (I was in the Army) generally were not very good decision makers, were a bit eletist, and teended not to have a really firm grip on what it meant to be a soldier in terms of discipline or dedication to anything resembling hard or sustained work. Overall, they tended to be pseudo-intellectual - but that's just in my experience. Often, they are delusional, especially when reporting the results of attacks on targets. During WW II, they reported knocking out more trains and trucks than Germany ever built. Without getting into any details, the same was true of kill claims for mobile targets in our more recent military endeavors (since 1990); I know from first-hand experience. Having said that, I once again take issue with totally negative comments by some of the other reviewers (by the way, Moosekarloff, the Tailhook guys are not USAF - you can take the time to figure it out yourself as to who they really were. Hint: Planes that land on aircraft carriers have hooks on their tails so that they can snag the arresting cables. Got it?).
