That seems fine considering all the wars the US has fought in the last 50 years or so have been ridiculously asymmetrical. The USAF has to prepare for a war against technologically equivalent countries, but it also needs to do a much better job at preparing for the wars it's actually fighting right now.



Ah, I think the USAF is doing a fine job with what it's been dealt with. It's made a few procurement decisions that have been a bit questionable, but much of that was driven more by the Executive Branch than the Pentagon.

Airpower is really quite limited. Boots on the ground will always be required, and that's something the US has grown tired of providing.
