Planned Parenthood is a cash cow for the DNC, if the 7% have 40% of the abortions which if you read the views of Margaret Sanger she strongly approves on. So I see this as a cash flow problem

Have two kids in their 20's now, we lost another two to miscarriage, when we were dating, we had a surprise, she told me and told her not to worry. I had already made up my mind that she was the one before that happened. When I deployed later, she aborted it, don't feel right calling it an it. She told me that she didn't want it to be the reason I married her. What I felt the most was guilt, my actions of carnal lust caused her to be put her into a position to make such a choice. Later in life I watched this news story about a little boy who fell through ice, they got him out but was declared dead. But later he later he showed life and fully recovered. He was talking to his parents about when he was dead he met his grandfather who died before he was born, he also talked about his sister who died in miscarriage before he was conceived. She told him her name and her soul will grow with age as if she was born and matured. His parents never told him before the accident about her so he had no knowledge before. That would make a believer out of me but it gave me hope, maybe when it's my time the first one plus the other two miscarriages will be there and I can beg for forgiveness for being selfish in my actions. I judge this whole argument on my feelings as one affected by it, just like suicide it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. When women do this don't tell me it doesn't effect them mentally unless they are total sociopath . I believe most fathers are not even told. Everyone is different but I can't get around the guilt I feel, I wonder what have could have been good or bad.

US Navy Surface warfare specialist doesn't sound like a good job to have anymore.

As a E-3 Crew Chief I saw that among many AFSCs in the community. I also worked Rivet Joint and it seemed more cooperative.

With the E-7 the infrastructure should be seamless. The only new Aerospace Ground Equipment should be new smaller tripod jacks, towbars. The 552nd has everything else, you can probably get two 737's in a hangar compared to one 707. Won't need the stands that you need to take rotodomes off anymore. The CFM-56-7s are super reliable and crew chiefs will have to learn to deal with Skydrol. The APU's are much better than the one they borrowed from the C-5. I hope they have a separate class on just on the airstairs that come with the jets, they are great until someone efs one up. I got my hands dirty with the U.S. Marshalls 737's which are -400's and Alaska NG's. Love the 737. I wonder what ground cooling these jets will need compared to a E-3. I hope at first, they by some -700NG trainers for the pilots and not beat up the mission birds, we used to have some old 707's for that but the schoolhouse tore them up really quick, plus the airlines had a reason they got rid of them. The Navy has bought a E-3 from the RAF to train E-6 pilots, it's at Lake Charles now for maintenance.

National Museum of the United States Air Force™ > Upcoming > KC-135 (af.mil) Looks like the NMUSAF will finally have a KC-135R 60-0329, this jet did a buddy air refueling during Viet Nam May 67 having the drogue hooked up to an A-3 Sky Warrior, (USAF EB-66) who dropped its drogue to air refuel an F-8 Crusader which all receivers had fuel emergencies. The backstory I've read on this event was that in those days SAC had a death grip on all KC-135's and all mission planning had to be approved by SAC HQ Offutt. This mission was done on the fly by aviators in the air working this out. SAC was if there isn't a checklist you don't do it, so nothing is done on the fly. They wanted to crucify the crew, but CINCPAC intervened. As I grow older, I'm reminded of how much water is under the bridge that I have tail #'s in museums that my signatures are all over the 781's forms binder. NMUSAF will now have two tails I've worked personally, VC-137C and now a KC-135R. Awaiting a 3rd when they take ownership of a E-3 Sentry. My question is what gallery does go into, cold war, Viet Nam, Desert Storm and everything in between?

Back in the day, the FCC filled out the 781 for the whole crew, also insured the 781 H,J,and A didn't turn into an abortion. My first supervisor when I first came in had a DFC, he was an FCC on a C-7 Caribou in Viet Nam. They went into places that C-130's couldn't.

In my younger days I was a Flying Crew Chief, got awarded enlisted aircrew wings, it depended on the Organization only to be told by Chiefs in other squadrons to take them off my Fatigues or BDU's. Loved my job, it was an incentive to fly with the jet and get away from the home station drudgery. Then McPeak came and said no more, you're not part of the crew, you're not getting flight pay or hazard duty pay but you will still fly and take the same risks as everyone else, and stop going to the Flight Doc, just get Motrin like everyone else. My question during that awards ceremony with the four DFC's awarded and the FCC getting nothing why was he even on the stage? I bet he still had to go to work after that and cover his shift. I would have considered it a slap in the face. I bet his own leadership torpedoed it, MX supervision are petty MF'ers who probably said he was overdue training or doesn't ever go to squadron functions or the last time I saw him he needed a haircut. Now you know why MX troops get out in droves.

Two holes at the water line , turned everything inside and above into a inferno.

Hell that sounds like a GI calling home from Kandahar.

I have been hearing but not confirmed only about 50ish crewman got off her but that leaves about 450 that will go down with her.

My family emigrated to the US in 1868 to Wisconsin, they stayed in touch with the family still living in Pomerania, which in 1868 was in Prussia since there was no Germany until after they beat the French in the Franco Prussian war. They lost touch in 1939, after 45 my aunt was stationed in Berlin as an interpreter, her Wisconsin German was a challenge talking to Wehrmacht officers. She made inquiries since our family ancestral home was east of the Oder River and now part of Poland. She later found out they were scattered or dead, the Russians and Poles most likely got payback. Mass graves were found later when guys who go around with metal detectors looking for battlefield relics found mass graves of German civilians. The largest ethnic cleansing ever, for centuries German speaking people lived all over eastern Europe and others who moved in after the Wehrmacht took over, after they lost the Soviets said start walking west or the shot them on sight. Since in the late 40's nobody had not much sympathy for Germans taking it in the shorts, so the Soviets went buck wild on German girls. If you were a German POW being held by the Russians, they got taken care of about as well or worse than Americans being held by the Japanese.

Some reports coming out from Ukrainian authorities that chemical weapons being used in Mariupol, new Russian General in charge is a real evil bastard. Does this change anything? 'Butcher of Syria' leading next phase of Russia's Ukraine war (nypost.com)

I wonder if those guys left behind were officers, the enlisted guys have had enough. Explains total lack of control and discipline with looting and murder.

Before the war we had Special Forces (Green Berets) there training Ukrainian's not to fight like Russians. If you believe all the talking heads in DC, they don't believe the Russians have yet begun to fight by not sending their best troops 7 dead Generals and a Col. ran over by his own troops later.

I see most everybody is talking about Article 5 and if Putin gets desperate, he goes full CBN. What nobody is talking about is that Ukrainian farmers should be planting soon their number one cash crop of wheat and sunflowers. They are too busy now picking up scrap metal. If this war prevents them of getting into the field, we will be looking at a mass famine in countries totally dependent on them. Most of the world have 90-day supplies on hand but after that is exhausted, 3 weeks we are into famine. That will kill more thousands of miles from the Ukrainian battlefield, governments will fall, think 1993 Somalia on steroids. Start packing your pantries and turning your backyard lawn into a garden.

Hate to say it but mx troops had the same thought after endless 12 hours shifts no weekends off just so a guy can go from O-6 to O-7.

Does that include the 787?

I hope MX had their cyber awareness CBT complete, my whole shop was overdue by a month, it's a wonder that we got anything to fly. My learning stated I never had to take it again when I took it a year ago.

Our old M-1 Garands and M-14's can still lay down some effective cover fire. But with those guys most likely have not spent a bunch of time on the range with those. At the way things are going the Russian Army doesn't seem to have much training and or trigger time; learning everything the hard way.

Our own history during the Civil War when Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus between DC and Philly and he shut down over 300 newspapers.

You can make the argument why the Russian military can't fight besides the tactics and doctrine, the Russian society in general. The corruption has been around since the Tsar's. Has Russia ever been a society that has ever been one of laws instead of corrupt tyrants? Putin was himself a bag man for his political boss before he became Mayor of St Petersburg. Makes me wonder when he shakes his nuclear saber, does he have to spray WD-40 inside the scabbard to remove it. Missiles take a bunch of upkeep; I wonder if they even keep a warhead on top of the ones in the silos. Back in the day our Atlas birds had to keep fuel in the tube for structural strength so the war head would not come down crushing the tube, right before I joined an Arkansas silo had an explosion when a mx troop dropped a wrench and punctured the skin and the fuel exploded. Just thinking a Russian General knowing that his birds would never fly just kept one looking good in case the boss showed up and padded his budget and bank account.
