The gunship is useless (unless your trying to clear cut a forest) without forward observation, aka grunts

BULL. There were no grunts on the ground on the Ho Chi Minh trail.

Navy - SLCM (Sea Launched Cruise Missile)
Army - GLCM (Ground " " ")
Air Force - ALCM (Air " " ")

Any of the services have the capability. Just glad the job got done.

Negative Ghostrider.....
Army ain't got no GLCM's.
Not since the Pershing II's.

Only ground launched missiles now are ADA, AT, and FA rockets (ballistic not missiles).

Yea I spent my time launching rockets in MLRS units and even though they've got some badass range for giant bottlerockets we ain't hitting Russia with them.

This is correct. When the GLCM's and Pershings arrived in Europe they were deployed with Air Force SP's guarding them.
Damn things caused me to miss seeing Ted Nugent open for Judas Priest that week.

Re: Pararescue - This guy finished his career out as the First Sgt for the 410th Security Police Squadron in Strategic Air Command. Everyone I know who served with him has told me that he was probably the best NCO they ever met in their lives. He was also a serious bad ass.
