The Battle for Bucks has been underway for a long, long time.

We can go back at least as far as the "Admirals' Revolt" following WWII. Even then, the newly minted Air Force wanted to build long range bombers at the expense of aircraft carriers (specifically the B-36 and the USS United States). History will note that eventually we ended up with both carriers and bombers.
