. Since the middle of the Korean War, not a single U.S. Army soldier has been killed by enemy aircraft or helicopter attack in all the wars and engagements fought since that time. Needless to say, this is a tradition that can only be maintained in the future if American forces continue to dominate the air over their opponents, and, to that end, the United States Air Force is pursuing development of the F-22 Raptor fighter, as the key to air dominance in the 21st century.

Don't take this a callous, but I'm surprised, that there have been no ground casualties from air attacks since the middle of the Korean War... I know we have had total air domination since Viet Nam
