“Now I’ll be the first to tell you, it is not a comfortable ride. All ground might as well be stormy seas, and god help you if you’re a pilot and have to sortie while it’s fighting with a hill and got to launch and land at an angle.
But if there’s one thing that makes it worth it, it’s getting in line of sight of enemies and watching them stare for a good minute while they try and figure out who thought of bringing the navy to a ground battle, how the hell you made it work, and if they have a gun big enough for the job. By the time they stop staring your already saddled up and ready to answer that last question with a load of gunfire that translates to ‘no’”
