Air strikes vs sorties April 19, 2015
Why does the news, and I assume the US military, now report air strikes instead of sorties. As I understand it a sortie is one flight by one aircraft, an airstrike can be any number of aircraft, a far less accurate release of information than in the past. I expect our enemies know what is decimating them. Why obfuscate?
