The Air Force Association (AFA) Chairman of the Board, Joe Sutter, from Knoxville, Tennessee, has written an op-ed worthy of your review. In it, Sutter posits that we may be one day closer to when the US loses air dominance; one day closer to the day when we cannot rescue a downed Airman; one day closer to the day when we cannot project strategic power; and one day closer to the day when we are at risk to a ballistic missile attack against the US or our allies. Do we have a strong Air Force today? Yes. But today's decisions impact our … and our children/grandchildren's future. You can find it at this AFA link: http://www.afa.org/EdOp/2009/edop_4-09-09.asp.
