And That's a Fact
...Jack.
"While air power, precision-guided bombs and missiles often receive all the glamour on the modern battlefield, cannon artillery still plays a critical role in today's fight by serving as the only 24-hour, all-weather reinforcement for the infantry soldier — a fact proven in recent conflicts."

Outstanding article, THS. It's nice to see us gun bunnies still have a place on the battlefield.

Glad you enjoyed it, Guns. The Airforce does kind of forget that there're folks out in the field when it's raining, even if a gazillion dollar plane is safe in the hanger.

The infantry* still rules the battlefield.....much to the chagrin of the Air Force and tread heads.
========================
*: Supported by the combat support and service support branches, of course....not the least of which are the Engineers.
