Comments by "WarfarenotWarfair" (@warfarenotwarfair5655) on "Why the M10 Booker Light Tank Goes So Hard" video.
The 82nd Airborne had the Sheridan light tank for years. This is a return to tye Sheridan days.

I was in the USAF from 1999-2009. During that time the USAF developed long range plans with the army for expeditionary forces and the concept of global reach. The Soviets are gone and "threats" America faces aren't American threats, they are allied theats, allies that have become rich due to American allowed trade deficits. That is changing now as allies in regions are now expect to field properly funded armies. Many of the NATO countries are huge offenders of poorly funded militaries especially Germany and Canada. The US forces will be more mobile going forward with a smaller blue water Navy for strikes and deterrence not a protracted war. America is getting back to it's roots as it is independent and requires zero trade from oversees and is energy and food independent. Light tanks and more mobile equipment will be the norm.

The office "analyst" opinion is irrelevant when it comes to "air drops". The USAF ceased LAPES drops in the 1990s.
