I actually expected that video to instantly jump from the glasses being poured to waiting in line at the gate eating an egg burger and then to waking up the next morning with the shoes still on.
Apparently 55% of the pilots eligible just aren't grateful for the wonderful opportunity that is being bestowed upon them from their kind and giving Air Force... we will obviously be much better off without those ungrateful bastards who will be easily replaced!!!

Congressman kicked a little ass at the hearing today--called out Ted Cruz for some of his overly simplistic remarks. I'm a Texan, was something of a Republican activist in college, and have always been skeptical of Cruz's "bull in a China shop" approach. It was nice to see a junior House member unafraid to challenge the so-called "rising star" in the Senate.
