Wow, that pretty much summed it up. Don't confuse conservatives with party line GOP, there is large and diverging difference. I thought her tone was spot on and well controlled. The facts, lies, and hypocrisy make me sick to my stomach and embarrassed that this country reelected this person to a second term (let alone the first term). What's even more embarrassing are the people he surrounds himself with. Her points and projections are accurate; dumb and dumber could lead us (from behind of course) straight into WW3 if we're not careful. And to think, this time last year, almost to the day, I was raging with hostilities over the lies and bullshit emanating from these same people while our brothers died a grizzly death while being left out in the cold. Class act Mr President, class act.

You can try to distance the gunship from the "combat" heritage all you want, but the AC-119 project was codenamed "Combat Hornet". The Spooky and Spectre had their programs named differently IIRC, and it wasn't adopted for whatever reason. Is it ALL of the AFSOC heritage? Certainly not. Is it part of it? Without a doubt. I didn't name the projects, and neither did anyone who flies the planes now, but it doesn't mean we have any reason to snub what heritage is there just because it isn't deemed "cool". Many MDSs have nods to their predecessors in their aircraft or project name: PAVE, SENIOR, RIVET, etc. For whatever reason "Combat" was chosen by the folks back then for some of AFSOC's programs. It is what it is, get over it. I personally think we should name every AFSOC aircraft "Combat ____". Not for heritage's sake, but because of the unfathomable amount of sand it packs into peoples' vaginas.

That was the movie...in the book it was Muslim extremists.
