An interesting read on thwe subject, "Danger Close" by Steven Call
It's mainly about TACPS in Afghanistan and Iraq, but it also goes into detail the turfwars so to say that the Air Force and Army struggled through prior to these conflicts. It gives a good insight as to how certain members of each respective branch have tried to merge the powers of these two branches to bring about "jointness" if you will, in combat and other capabilities.
Basically, quit pissing and moaning about who has the power and authority to do what and put your heads together and figure it the hell out.
