That harks back to the old "Not a pound for the ground"
mentality, where aircraft were deliberately designed to make them less
effective in a ground support role.

The Air Force mentality is not like that of Naval Aviation, which sees
itself as subordinate to the overall team effort -- to the point where,
rather than look down at strike aircraft pilots, Naval fighter pilots see
themselves as the protectors of strike aircraft.
