First of all, save the 1337speak for in-game, it took me a while to get what you were asking for.
First of all, review the basics of using any general. Build your first power plant in the proper place. Learn to play without radar and start selling your command center every match. Be aggressive and hit the enemy base immediately with the first unit out of your war factory. If you're USA, learn to micro your vees, if you're GLA, learn to control as many workers as you can to make as many tunnels and supply lines as you can. Don't tech up (make a palace, propaganda or strategy center), until it seems safe to do so. Watch pro replays (http://www.gamereplays.org/community/Elite_Zero_Hour_Replays-f41.html) to see all the basics in action.
You'll have to give me more information on the matchup in question, though. Airforce and Nuke, like all the factions, are rather complicated to explain in one sitting.
I can tell you to always get the veteran Red Guard generals point and try and build production units away from your base, close to the middle as Nuke and to always spam King Raptors as USAF unless you're fighting Tank or want to go comanche spam against a GLA (which takes some practice and instruction). Give me an example of who you're fighting against though.

All US armies (including Air force) need dominance over Supply Piles early. Since their forces are the most expensive.
Basically as the US, if you have money, you will win. Simple. They have a nice spread of even and powerful units.
As Nuke General you want to spam Battlemasters with Horde Bonus. Players should deny US players any supplies outside their own base.
I always found that the Internet Center was a key, something i try to get set up pretty quickly.

Not really.
USA armies need to play defensively and harass the enemy supplies (China and GLA will easily win in battles of map control, except perhaps on maps like Heartland Shield where it can be gratifying to ferry a dozer in a chinook to the middle-supplies) But USA doesn't need to offensively obtain the field supplies until they've cleared the map out later on. Until then, they can just hit hard with just their base and secondary supplies. And USA is only a threat when he's spamming humvees. (with proper micro, you don't need too many humvees to craft a win.) You can make a variety of units, but the rockvee with ambulance support will play any combat role effectively, especially after the game progresses and you get Pathfinders, TOW Missiles, and Search & Destroy from the strat center. (If you have vees on the field, then you should always pick Search & Destroy as your strategy)
Internet Center is absolutely unnecessary: it costs you too much initiative to be worthwhile in the long run. Just get supplies and defend them, if you haven't won by the time the supplies run out, chances are you won't at all.

easiest way to learn.
play vs comp first. make sure u know what each unit does.
then go online, go to quickmatch. and play.
if u lose, save the replay, and watch it after. try to memorize the strategy. next time if u are using same general as the guy who beat u and ur opponent is using same general as u did in the losing game. then try out that strategy on him/her.
