So I guess the Air Force is clear?
Great, now we have to have a Supreme Court hearing to figure it out:rotfl:Why couldn't those whacky founding fathers have forseen the Air Force (or the Marines and Coast Guard for that matter)?
Wasnt your AF under the Army in the beginning?
Yes, the National Security Act of 1947 designated the Air Force as a separate branch of the military.
