:I totally agree. I've always interpreted Thorne's phrasing as, "The Air Force went independent and the rest is history." The part where he's unsure whether there were Spartan-IIs other than the Master Chief is another story, though. --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our answer is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 15:15, 31 March 2015 (EDT) | :I totally agree.

::Actually, it doesn't reference the US explicitly in its wording and uses the term "Air Force" in quotes as though that is the unusual item in question. It later calls out the first Chief of Staff by name so a reference to US is implied but indirectly. It still doesn't explain the use of "Air Force" in quotation marks since the UNSC's branch has an identical name. I was similarly puzzled by this as UNSC Air Force references have been around at least since Halo: Reach.. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 16:31, 31 March 2015 (EDT) | ::Actually, it doesn't reference the US explicitly in its wording and uses the term "Air Force" in quotes as though that is the unusual item in question.

:::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) | |||
