Indeed it is true that Obama got rid of all the war fighter generals. He had a complete Joint Chiefs of Staff without a single decoration for direct combat arms experience in combat zones. Obama thought gay service, appointing a gay secretary of the army, and women in combat jobs was more important than combat viability.
You don't need them anymore. You have drones and nukes and stealth bombers...
When I was in Iraq every air strike we begged for was rejected no matter how desperate the situation. You know why? We were in a populated area and Falluja had just went down and the left was screaming their asses off about civilian casualties. You don't own the land unless you stand on it. You can't fight a war against an enemy that hides behind the innocent with airial strikes. The idea is purposterous. Air power is a combat SUPPORT element for a reason.
