:::The quotes on "Air Force" are also what I take issue with. Why say "a military group called the 'Air Force'" and not just "the US Air Force" or "the Air Force of the United States" or something of that sort if he wanted to differentiate it from the UNSC one? Though I can definitely understand the "the rest is history" interpretation, it seems like something one would use if he were a part of the Air Force himself and felt like expressing pride in his service in a particularly dramatic way. But with his lack of ties to the Air Force and the way he refers to the "Air Force" as historical trivia and not present-day reality (by making no distinction as to what entity's air force he's talking about) I'm more inclined to see it as a discrepancy. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:51, 1 April 2015 (EDT) | :::The quotes on "Air Force" are also what I take issue with.

::::My understanding is that Thorne (being American) doesn't feel the need to point out "US" before Air Force. For him, the UNSC Air Force is simply the continuation of his country's original Air Force. Just as a Frenchman would see the UNSC Air Force as a continuation of his country's original Air Force. So Thorne can talk about a group called the "Air Force" and Carl Spaatz because it's his own history. And as of the 26th century, it's probably quite vestigial (Imagine the difference between ''that'' Air Force and the UNSC Air Force). As for the quote marks, I think they're most likely used to emphasize the name. What was just a group became the "Air Force".
