@Prozac @Danger41 You both have excellent points and perspective and these are discussions that we NEED to be having if we want to defeat/deter China. FWIW, Mini is an old friend and we shared a beer at WEPTAC two weeks ago, two things that struck and impressed me: 1. While we were talking about old times and family a steady stream of captains and majors walked by and engaged him with ideas...they were not seeking career advice or face time, they were bringing genuine ideas on how to solve tough problems. He took the time and engaged with every single one of them. 2. At one point two captains engaged and brought a contractor along. They were brain-storming through a current tough tactical problem and had an idea that was actually very good and it combined some capes we already have. Mini immediately grasped what they were saying and said "put it together and bring me 467 of them." The captains and contractor actually seemed shocked, finally one of them blurted out "serious?" Mini immediately replied "I am trying to win a war here!" I know in the past we have had false hope in some of these GO's, and knowing Mini gives me some bias, but what I saw was a very senior leader genuinely interested in defeating China even if that meant changing the status quo. He was also setting the environment to bring as many ideas and inputs as possible into the conversation. So while things like single pilot tanker ops loading with cruise missiles may get a lot of eye rolls, I think that line of out of the box thinking and the willingness to foster it is what makes us better.

Adapt is a word...right now the farmers are lashing out at everyone when they should look in the mirror. Some of the farmers tried to point the finger at Cannon AFB and their water usage given the Ogallala Aquifer is projected to be depleted in 10 years. Curry County New Mexico has a population of 48,000. Cannon has a bit over 12,000 Active Duty, GS/NAF employees plus dependents. The base itself uses less than a quarter of the red sliver...who is causing the issue? You are 100% correct, things are going to change, they must. In the graph below the red is public water for utilities.

When I went through WIC every WUG had a SCIF in their Nellis Inn room. It was cleverly disguised as a small wooden cabinet with a lock.

Hypocrisy, lunacy, Irony...maybe all three. You simply can't make this crap up. FBI Agent who led Trump-Russia probe arrested for providing assistance to Russian Oligarch and violating Russian sanctions!

I mostly agree with you. My faith is very personal to me and not governed by a few radicals, but discussing here is even more futile than politics. I'd say this is a bit more than "sloppy". Items from his time in the senate (that can only be viewed in a SCIF), found in his homeS. How did they get out of the SCIF? Items from his time as VP (he is not the classification authority) found in his homeS. Again how did they get out of the SCIF or his office. And even though they assured us "there's no there there" and he has "no regrets", the FBI found even MORE classified today. Why didn't the FBI conduct the first searches? Why were his uncleared lawyers allowed to search? Why was he allowed to return to the potential scene of a crime? Where they keep finding classified? Why did they hide this for MONTHS? One or two items is sloppy, but they have found classified at every location they have searched. This situation has gone far beyond sloppy and clearly crossed into coverup territory.

And she forevermore required two extra clicks of right trim to shoot straight, which she still did!

Nothing like a Split S to beat an SA-8 in a gunpig. Bill did good that night, you all did. Well done brother.

Biden's comments on classified summed up in two memes.

"How that could possibly happen, how one anyone could be that irresponsible," Biden responded. "And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods. By that, I mean, names of people helped or et cetera." -- President Joe Biden, Sep 28,2022 "Here's the deal"...."I have no regrets" -- President Joe Biden, Jan 19, 2023

Of course you think it is normal for a DNC controlled media outlet to suppress a potential crime that jeopardizes national security by the sitting President....perfectly normal, nothing to see here.

Yes back to COVID and what this administration is doing...UFB!

I've seen it reported in multiple places (not just fox), here is a quick link on Google. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-friends-call-for-investigation-into-cbs-nbc-sitting-on-biden-classified-docs-story-to-swing-the-election/

A little squadron souvenir earned while protecting a TF-160 MH-47 one dark night many years ago. 40MM HE impact right on the RPG launcher (and shoulder/neck area of the bad guy).

I don't have first-hand information but some of the reports make it seem like a very heavy on the brake abort with the Delta jet stopping less than 1000' from the American jet. Glad it turned out this way, curious to see what comes out of this situation.

The "Free Press" is dead, replaced by mouthpieces for each political party. Truly sad. It is now being reported that CBS knew about Biden's classified documents BEFORE the mid-terms and sat on it. NBC knew about the second tranche for weeks and sat on it.
