Not a fan of Trump, but there is no way you can convince me the last four years under Biden were better! Had Trump won, our economy would most likely be doing better, our foreign and domestic policies been more focused on important things than wokeness and transgender recognition, and honestly I believe most Americans would have a lot more pride in this country! The fact that Biden even won (if he even did!) and pretty much every action he has taken over the past four years has been a major embarrassment to the US. This has got to be the largest amount of horseshit claims I've ever seen in my life, and I did 25 years in the USAF! The Biden-Harris Record | The White House Does the White House really think everyone is so stupid to believe all that?!? Again, I would prefer a different candidate to vote for, one more along the lines of Reagan in the 80s; but once again we are stuck between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. I for one would rather endure the Giant Douche then to spend another four years having a Turd Sandwich shoved down our throats!

At some point I'll write out the utter shit show of DOS on 14-15 Aug during the embassy evac. And nothing improved for the remaining 16 days. As a commander on the ground, I felt sold out and abandoned by every level above 06. On the plus side, there was no one to stop me from doing what I thought best.

At least he knows only women have pussies…those on the left don’t seem to believe so.

I'd say alot of things TSA does are counter to intelligence.

Brother it PAINS me to say the words vote Trump (kind of like having to choose between vomiting and Diarrhea), but his shot was not mandatory.

Experienced this as well in Europe and Africa...but I realized, they shouldn't be competent at operational planning...that's what military planners are for. State is supposed to be diplomats. They're also supposed to have the brains to realize that operational planning (especially in military related activities) should be pushed to the military, because we're pretty damn good at it. The perennial American diplomatic problem is that when things go beyond diplomacy, our diplomats seem to think they are always the smartest in the room...and they never are.

Reviving an old discussion, came across this locally for $25 and couldn't resist a Pops jacket for that much.

Lots of interesting Big Safari history out there but one of my favorites is "Poobah's Party" from Gulf War 1. Took a bunch of retired Army short range nuclear cruise missile type done things and modified them to basically be a bunch of MALD. They got the Iraqi IADS (KARI) to illuminate and were subsequently schwacked by the good guy SEAD players. Pretty awesome story.

One of the topics I neglected to mention was where I got some of the information on the RB-57. For a fascinating history of this and other specialized aircraft I recommend the book “The History of BIG SAFARI” by Col. Bill Grimes. This book was a trip down memory lane and brought back memories from when I was a B-52G Crew Chief back in the ‘80s and my line supervisor worked on RC-135 aircraft in Alaska before being transferred to Bombers. He would regale me with tales of fantastically modified RC-135 aircraft (sometimes for a single mission) that I sometimes thought he was just embellishing to make a compelling story. After reading this book I wish I could remember more of those stories since they were all true!

That's ol Trump for ya, he's got em all by the pussy.

Imagine a world where Trump won in 2020: The economy would have done...probably the same things it has done, with a little difference accounting for NOT locking down domestic oil production. Putin would still be putin and probably invaded...and we'd never have had to deal with Biden and we'd be 8 MONTHS AWAY FROM NEVER HEARING TRUMP'S NAME AGAIN. If Trump loses, guess what, we'll get to hear his name for the NEXT FOUR F'ING YEARS AGAIN! Not to mention deal with the ossification of policy and retardation that Biden's admin (let's admit it, Biden doesn't do a damn thing, his admin does everything). Please for the love of pete, can we just elect trump so we can get this F'ing pain over with already?

State is completely incapable of competent operational planning.

I thought the Phantom was deemed so ugly, the ground just decided when to repel it.

Safe AND effective!

I think they did, its called Vote Trump.

Exclusive: State Department officials told House investigators they created Afghanistan withdrawal plans from scratch I would advise some not to read this article, if you have half a brain it will anger you beyond belief...completely inept. #FJB

Those lasers gave me a Wed morning headache, on a TDY of all things. Inconsiderate bastards.

This is what was great about the mighty Phantom's "Rotate for Dummies". You started the TO roll with full aft stick and let the a/c decide when to rotate.

Well 20 years ago he was a democrat… Oh wait did I say the quiet part out loud? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don’t sell him short, six years and already a SRA.

...the Operation Warp Speed guy? 😁
