Thinking today that the Air War College had this REALLY good lecture by Reagan Schaupp called A Taxonomy of Air Strategy that looked at 1966, 1996, and 2025 as case studies, but its opening line of like "National leaders don't just throw airpower at the wall and see what sticks" hasn't aged well.

I guess another part of "Americans forgot who was president in 2020" is memory-holing him initiating an escalation spiral with Iran in January and the only reasons it turn into a shooting war are because the Iranians shot down a civilian airliner and Trump thinks soldiers with TBIs are pussies
