if you could only choose one branch of the military

[Big Empty]

If the US could only sustain funds to keep one branch of the US military around. Which would be the most important branch to keep? Airforce, Navy, Marines or Army?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

AF no question.

[Chucho]

The one that refuses to enlist trannies.

[lefty20]

Aerial superiority above all else, tbh.

[Avante]

The Navy is by far the best. Whoever rules 70% of the earth, is in charge.

How far can planes go before they have to refuel? How do ground fources get anywhere? The Navy has planes. And what outfit is more revered than a Navy Seal?

I made 4 WESTPACS, yep, a Shellback. Was in Viet Nam when my time was up. At no time in my four trips there was I ever in any danger. We watched the war from afar but collected combat pay.

It took me two weeks to get home. I was on a helo, jetted off a carrier, on a bus, on a train, a C 5 cargo carrier and then a jumbo jet, walked in my front door on Christmas morining, yep......SURPRISE~~~~~~~

So what % of the Earth's surface is covered by an atmosphere?

An imagine the havoc in the adolescent population if you could have flown to the "hey soldier, need some wacky wacky?" destinations...

[lebomb]

Air Force

[Blake]

Air Force

How do you take out submarines

[tlongII]

Navy. Navy has planes too.

[SnakeBoy]

If the US could only sustain funds to keep one branch of the US military around then we're so screwed it doesn't matter which one you pick.

[Chinook]

AirForce is a weird answer. The Navy has a ton of planes and their own nukes.

[jeebus]

The Air Force is a solid choice but then again, people in the Navy like to rape little girls while in SE Asia....I dunno.

Good news if war breaks out with N Korea... send our sailors over there and let them go to work.

Navy, since the Marines are a department of the Navy, they have NSW, they have air power and they can also act as a domestic aid force in natural disasters. They control the ability to park nukes off the coast of any country, via submarine, and they have the best training of all the forces in their technical schools.

But they are all very important, and you'd not just fund one. You'd have to scale them all back, but never get rid of one of them. If you had to get rid of one, it would be the Air Force because the Navy can provide that role.

[DMC]

So does the USAF. The Navy lacks tactical airlift capability, they don't have the airfields to launch multiple parallel sorties, so they'd have to rely on the USAF bases for that. The Navy doesn't have long range bombers, they'd have to ferry all the ordinance to a central location and use an inordinate amount of aircraft to deliver it. That's not always feasible when land mass makes the trip require refueling, and some countries will not give up airspace so they have to fly around (oops, French embassy).

Stupid, those bars were full of full grown/experienced women, now think ya fucking dummy.

Nice, appreciate your service Avante!

Thank you.

Few thinga can compare to sunsets out at sea, absolutely amazing.

[Big Empty]

Thank you.

[Avante]

same thing this navy chick ive dated on & off said

We had a bird follow us all the way to Nam and back. He/she munched on our garbage that went over board. When tired of flying he/she would land somewhere on the ship above us. Big bird too big for a hawk to mess with.

Now imagine knowing in the morning you'll be pulling into Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Tokyo, very cool.

Whales, dolphins, sea snakes, sharks, flying fish, that.....what in the hell was that?

There is one other thing that compares to out at seas sunsets, that would be sun rises. And......there is without question UFO's. We saw all kinds of strange lights out in the middle of nowhere at night. No place where anything man made could have refueled nearby yet, there it was.

The Navy has air stations, as well as Joint Bases with the AF. What is a carrier if not a central location from which to deliver ordinance? Silly premise, but Navy is the obvious, and best, choice.

[Avante]

The Navy has it all, ships, planes, ground forces. Where is the Army with no Navy? The Navy doesn't need the Army. Try flying those AF planes with no way to refuel.

The Marines are a branch of the Navy.

If you defund the USAF you close the airfield. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Any branch could be fine if they got the resources of the other branches. Joint bases rely on joint funding.

Little girls hustling drinks, hahahahaha~~~~ I cannot believe how many total morons post here, it's amazing.

[spurraider21]

Nuclear subs imo

[The Gemini Method]

Probably would go Navy since they're capable of having an air presence and the Marines would serve as the army.

[Avante]

There's the AF bombing away far from home. How long before.....low on fuel? Now what?

There's the Navy bombing away far from home. When low on fuel.....air craft carrier in the region just for this purpose.

The Army is heading into North Korea, how do they get there? What parachute....nay~~~ They come in on boats from Navy ships.


This is a no contest, only a fool would say anything other than....NAVY~~~~~~~

Lol I can see the army just standing around on the coast.

"Fuck...how are we going to get to North Korea?.......if only we had a navy~~~~~~~

Are you under the impression that north korea is an island? Or are you referring to them being on the US mainland

Is it possible to drive to North Korea?

Blake, geographically stupid. Doesn't realize South Korea exists, along with military bases.

The air force has it's own refueling platform, Rapey..unless you think the KC 10 uses a tailhook.

DMC thinks we grow American troops in South Korea like corn.

[Blake]

Me clowning Avante for needing a navy to get to North Korea was a clearly a huge whiff
