Most of them didn’t vote “for him”, but rather “against Trump.” Trump’s administration did some amazing things…most on the left couldn’t get around his personality and antics. Call it TDS, call it a too politically correct society, etc, but his personality did get in the way of the great ideas he did have. Sleepy Joe was like your weird but harmless uncle. Now two years later we are seeing however……

And that discrepancy is being offloaded to line IPs in the Ops Squadrons, wasting time on basics instead of prepping Copilots or Wingmen for deployments and advanced missions. To exacerbate things, all the grey beard IPs we used to have are all gone and are happily sipping Mai Thais on their layovers in Hong Kong. Our IP corps is younger and leaner. Cherry on top is all the senior ACs we had to send back to be UPT instructors.

Over the horizon was not working though. It was a 4 star level visibility event anytime a C-130 landed in Somalia between Jan 21 and Summer 2022. The episodic support simply wasn’t a viable strategy. I’m not saying we should build a Djibouti like base in Somalia, but we should either commit or get out of that shit hole.

I’ve been flabbergasted with the racist comments the DEI crowd in the military has been able to get away with the last few years. The most racist people I’ve met are far from white. God help you if you are a White Male in the military. FWIW: I’m not

This one hits close to home. AFRICOM is the red headed step child for the Joint Staff. Practically no assigned forces, they must always borrow forces from EUCOM or CENTCOM. The rotational forces are under resourced and no one gives a shit. It doesn’t help that we withdrew all forces out of Somalia at the end of Trump’s presidency, failed at over the horizon support, and now are moving back into Somalia with a yet to be clear strategy. This goes beyond the VEO arguement, the Chinese have encroached into Djibouti and Kenya, they even have military bases in those countries. I’m not sure what the right answer is, but we either need to commit or “let them have their desert”.

No way he makes it to 2024. He will excuse himself from running for “health reasons”, he will go down as a folk hero for the dems as the dude who ousted Trump. Kamala will step aside citing reasons such as “racism and sexism” keeping her from doing her job, she will save face and go down another idol for the progressive and left. In comes Mayor Pete. Problem solved.

One of the biggest things I miss about Japan…no homeless in sight. It is considered shameful. One of the cleanest countries I’ve been to besides Singapore.

New National Security strategy Less than a paragraph on great power competition, China, and Russia. Most of it talks about “domestic extremism”, white nationalism, the Jan 6 “attacks”, diversity and inclusion. Even some Climate Change sprinkled in.

And while sleepy Biden and his affirmative action Vice President fail in this line of effort…we should move migrants to so called “sanctuary cities” should we not?
-
And then all Biden’s opponent has to do is play on repeat videos of Afghans falling off a C-17. If America re-elects Biden after that….we’ll as they say, we get the government we deserve.

That’s exactly what’s going on in the New York Governor race. Incumbent Dem Governor refuses to debate her opponent Zeldin. Now, Zeldin has closed the gap within margin of error.

Hollywood does this intentionally. The Hollywood elites couldn’t care less about “representation” or “equity”, they know replacing minorities with previously non-minority roles (Little Mermaid, etc) will elicit a response from conservatives, reasonable ones like I see in this forum. Then, the left can say “See how racist and bigoted the conservatives are!?!” It’s the same advantage to nominate minorities for cabinet positions, even the VP. You dare criticize the first female half black half Indian Vice President? Well you must be a racist. This is literally how many of the left think today and it’s very concerning. You even see it bleeding into the military. If you’re a female or minority and didn’t get the strat, job push you wanted? Just accuse your leadership of sexism / racism and you’d be far how that ball will carry these days.

She was hired by the Affirmative Action Presidency, what more do you expect?

Explains the scum that is Austin. There’s Texas, and then there is Austin, Texas. The rest of Texas just considers it Berkeley.

Had a 0-4 African American Major (pilot, and going places) tell me African Americans cannot be racist. He claimed racism by definition could only be employed by the more powerful and less victimized race. We are absolutely effed.

I’d rather look at Songtan Sally

I laughed but the thought of that happening is terrifying. Based on Brandon/Austin/Miley’s handling of Afghanistan, I have zero confidence that things would go well for us in a blunt and escalatory conflict. The fact that Austin and Milley haven’t resigned is an embarrassment.

An enlisted colleague of mine told me they used to teach Vis Recce in Basic, but don’t anymore?

The H model has become a dump can. 1950s technology with at the most 1970s avionics. It is way passed its prime. The Air Force has got to stop prolonging these aircraft to the point of failure. Same for the B-1s, KC-135s, Buffs, etc. Hard to listen to the CSAF lecture about accelerate change or lose when our Air Force Life Cycle Management is utter trash.

Ha, you’d be suspect of most senior leaders at AMC. Can hardly make GO unless you do a touch and go on every fat girl aircraft.

Maybe eco-terrorists got their hands on a SSGN?

Did someone ask said two star when and why he got castrated?
-
Your head is buried up you know where if you think this is just talked about in a CBT. A former Squadron Commander forced their Flight CCs to take part in a book club on “White Fragility”, open your eyes dude. Damn autocorrect

Gina Ortiz, Chief Bass, CQ Brown… OF COURSE they support this woke crap. The lower echelons also didn’t get to where they were by being yes men/women/whatever gender pronoun they have in their signature block. Does it get better…or is it here to stay, something to adapt to and work with?

So… normal dude?
