I'm not blaming the intel guys, Felix; they get more than their fair share of flak without my help.
I am saying that disparate force elements do not talk to each other as they should. I don't even limit it to allies: though people laugh at inter-service rivalries, I've seen Army officers refuse to be even civil to naval officers, war or no, whatever the secretaries or Joint Chiefs say.
The Air Force has enough trouble even coordinating the various National Guard elements flying under its command, to say nothing of working with Navy air or allied services.
Yes, the trend is obviously bad, and speaks of a general arrogance of service/country, among other things. I only say that I think THIS pilot was in the right.
