The Air Force is an all volunteered force, the most diverse microcosm of United States citizens and even dual-citizenship people. Some people join to see the world, some want health benefits, a steady paycheck, to serve their country, and some just want to jump out of airplanes. Regardless of these, everyone in the Air Force is an American Airman. It's not just Airman on base, spouses get full access to amenities of base living. Children of military members have multiple opportunities on base. There are also contractors doing a wide range of services from trash collection to secret squirrel (classified) operations.
Teeth of the AF could range anywhere from fighter pilots, aircraft maintenance, weapons maintainers, to nuclear deterrence oporators. Teeth of the AF would be more along the lines of recreational services, food services, dormitory management, mechanical calibration specialists. Without the tail, the Air Force could still kick butt, but not for long, that's why we need the tail. How else are we to get to where we need to go?
