I think that's pretty much my thoughts as well, up to the point where Army doctrine operates on the basis that 'Joint' means everyone else makes up the 'supporting force'. I'm always amazed at a culture that would foster the willingness of (we're speaking in general here- no pun intended) army field commanders to do anything and everything in their power to ensure their unit's and mission's success -even past the point where you can show them that the support they demand not only takes away from commands to either side of them, but possibly to the point that it subverts the entire battle plan. Schwartzkopf should have never had to remind someone "its all my air".
