Israel and Iran

Is the Army owning ADA a sarcasm or an actual thing just like the USAF wanted Army Aviation limited in fixed wing and owns fixed wings themselves? Not sure otherwise how to respond to this. All I know is that the Avenger was band-aid fix over the never replaced M42 Duster that the SGT York was supposed to replace and also replaced the never replaced Chaparral as merger band aid slash stopgap.

They won't wake up. They've been asleep ever since the Cold War ended. And I would arguably say asleep even before that.

Hot take: The USAF needs rotations at NTC with trying to defend a forward deployed airfield. Put anyone not in ADA, Artillery, or Aviation to OC them so we can finally see a fair assessment of what went wrong and how to fix things without those three branches doing biased branch influenced BS.

You should read up on the Key West agreement.

Ya, the Key West agreement was a huge FU to the Army...couldn't believe it lasted as long as it did.

Huge FU to the AF too, we wanted to field the Rapier SAM system in Europe and the Army used the Key West Agreement to block it. We had to have RAF Reservists man the system.
