Garrett: F-22s don't really function to well for close air support, it's too fast, lacks the ability for a sizable loiter time over the troops, the F-22 also lacks the ability to employ the proper weapons in large amounts, as well as being stealthy...there's no need for stealth when it comes to CAS.

Grimmy: The movement towards unified commands has led many to question this, but I don't believe the nation will ever go to one service, the ability to have specific groups (services) that can focus on different jobs leads to specialties and better training, as well as having groups with similar (but not exactly) the same abuilities leads to competition which can lead to better servicemen. As for a need for fixed wing aviation within the Army is thet the USAF is beginning to focus less and less on the CAS mission for the Army and I personally don't believe for one moment that the F-35 will be as capbale of perfoming the mission as the aircraft that the F-35 would replace.

P.S. Next time instead of being a smart ass, either bypass the thread or make a serious comment please and you can both kindly kiss my ass.
