When You Have a Hammer...

My deepest apologies to both our host and the audience for slow-to-non-existent publishing over the past year or so. Life and other professional demands have intervened, but I hope to contribute much more of substance to the blog in the coming months. For what it's worth, I think that Feng and Jon Solomon have done a remarkable job of reinvigorating the blog, and maintaining its forward momentum.

  But for the moment, a bit of self-promotion. In honor of the release of Grounded: The Case for Abolishing the United States Air Force in paperback, Real Clear Defense has published an excerpt:
Air force independence was controversial from the start. The appendix of a British Air Ministry memorandum of June 1921, entitled “Some Arguments for and against a Separate Air Force,” detailed seven arguments against independence. In this section, I boil these arguments down to five rationales for air force independence. Some of these rationales speak directly to the idea of an independent air force, while others justify bureaucratic division in a more general sense.
