I think people forget this sometimes. The US has had air supremacy in all recent conflicts, and most people can't imagine a world where it is not a given. Any war with China or Russia could get really, really interesting and will feature some level of air to ground stuff against our guys. The US has focused on low intensity stuff for so long it has partially forgotten that you have to fight to keep your relative advantage over others. Our enemies have gone a....long..... Way towards closing the gap.
