I call bullshit on that email. I seriously doubt it is authentic.

Wild that the same people who fell for Russian talking points are now falling for Hamas talking points...

We're so fucked as a people. Nobody puts ANY critical thought into what they are seeing and sharing. Just, if it looks like it supports my thoughts, fire away.

In addition to the 2,000+ Chinese and 2000+ Russians CPB captured 4 "High Interest Iranians" this week. So far in 2023 CBP has captures 160....I say again 160 people on the Terror Watch list, up from 100 in 2022. The administration admits there have been 1.5 Million Got-aways...KNOWN...how many unknown and how many were on the terror watch list or came with nefarious intent. Key Facts: CBP reported 204,561 alien encounters along the Southwest Border (SWB) in May 2023 —up over 13% from May 2021. 35,317 aliens were encountered at ports of entry — 17% of the total encounters in May. This is a 20% increase from April 2023 and a staggering 34% increase from January 2023. 28,696 inadmissible aliens were processed by OFO with CBP One app appointments. So far in FY23, CBP has arrested 20,923 aliens with criminal convictions nationwide, including 442 known gang members, 134 of those being MS-13 members. In FY23 alone, CBP has seized over 20,000 pounds of fentanyl coming across the Southwest border—enough to kill over 4.6 billion people. In May 2023, fentanyl seizures at the Southwest border increased 136% compared to May 2022. Leading up to the end of Title 42, Border Patrol reported more than 10,000 illegal alien apprehensions a day.

Hah. You ain’t wrong.

2 the watermark is 'Tasnim'...'news' agency controlled by the IRGC

Same reason we must defend democracy in Ukraine but not Israel.

oh look the virtue signal mob has abandoned ukraine and now is on to palestine...how predictable.

Nah, dog wasn't killed. Its muzzle was through the fence. Pinching its nose was meant to be a disincentive for poor behavior, but the pliers locked and the dog instantly disappeared with some of the loudest noises ever heard.

God bless the algorithm

A new angle on fish in a barrel.

Oh I’m well aware of what is acceptable and what is not. As I have said many times, I don’t approve of what the guy did at all and find it very immoral. But if someone thins that this is unacceptable but aborting a 7 month unborn baby is…well, there’s the rub.

with all the clamoring for a cease fire in gaza why no appetite for cease fire in ukraine?

So NOW you are a Constitutionalist?

Dude, you totally shot and missed wrt the actual biggest threat we face… Climate Change So get rid of that gas stove, that big gas guzzling SUV or truck, and stop eating meat. You’ll eat bugs and you’ll like it. https://nypost.com/2023/01/31/biden-says-global-warming-is-bigger-threat-to-humanity-than-nuclear-war/amp/

Name a good 19AF commander in The last 10 years. I'll wait. If they aren't fucking people they shouldn't, they're busy ruining UPT, hunting down meme page admins, or witch hunting at the squadron level. Something's in the water down there at Randolph. Or maybe it's just the collective dumping ground for the community rejects from the rest of the Air Force.

Pivot back to Trump? There may be a few MAGA hardliners here but most of the conservatives on here are moderates who have repeatedly said we don't like or want Trump. Sadly, it looks as if we are going to have him as the GOP nominee. Begrudgingly I hear a few DNC folks admit Biden is mentally deficient but rarely does your side admit the far left DNC is just as bad as the Proud Boys...and your mainstream leaders like the Clintons are drifting ever closer to Communism. I will however give Bill some props for coming out last week admitting the border is in crisis and now magically Biden wants to build a wall. Those props are limited because he did it for political reasons, trying to save Biden, rather than stop the invasion at our border.

I disagree From the article “In letters the Army sent this month to the affected aviators as well as to members of Congress, which were obtained by NBC News, it said it “realized” after conducting a “legal review of this policy” that the three-year BRADSO requirement has to be served separately.” I don’t think they knew. I would put money on the fact that, when they signed up, they asked if this commitment would be concurrent and I would put money on the fact that some personnel NCOs said yes. How many times have you talked to someone at MPF and gotten a confidently wrong answer from someone and gone with it only to find out later that the info was incorrect? I can give you multiple examples of personnel inconsistencies When I was awarded a Nav slot in 1994, the commitment had changed from 5 to 6 years. I had to cross out every 5 in my contract, change it to a 6 and initial it. One of my friends was at a Det that didn’t do that. Guess what? She got out at the 5 year mark. My kid was told in Jan 2021 that he could commission into the ANG from ROTC in 2021 under the Bow Wave program. Everyone was on board, he found a unit and got hired…then in April 2021 A1 ended the program and didn’t tell anyone…not the gaining state recruiters, not the ROTC det, not the unit. They did all the paperwork to submit in May only for AFPC to say “sorry, that program is over, the moose out front should have told you.” I could go on and on. So to make a blanket sweeping generalization that every single one of these aviators read a contract that apparently the entire Army didn’t even understand and they all need to man up? It’s another case of the member getting screwed and the incompetent bureaucrats run free. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Eh, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. We've started wars over more dubious intel and you survived.

Email sent by NGB Chief. Yikes. There are a lot of bad indicators here. -Failure to fight for Israel is "Anti-Semitism" -Planning to alter troop sentiment. -Framing Trump and Republicans as a problem -CENTCOM having limited capabilities and being completely caught off guard. -Israel not being able to defend itself. What’s everyone’s take on this?

J, Hamas talking points? I don't think you know what "talking points" are. This email was purported to be from a server hack, but I don't think that it is. That would make it a fabrication. But here's the interesting part: I predict that your ideology would fall precisely in line with all of the what you're claiming to be Hamas talking points. I doubt you would disagree with anything in it. Do you believe it would be anti-semetic for US troops to refuse to fight on behalf of Israel? After all, you believed that unvaccinated people who failed to support the current thing should die. What about people who fail to support Israel? What methods would you use if say, you were an ROTC instructor, and your students said that they weren't interested in fighting a war over the Holy Land? How would you change their mind? Do you believe that Trump and the Republicans are adversely affecting public sentiment that would hinder US efforts to render aid? Do you believe that Israel can win this war alone? None of these sound like Hamas talking points, they sound like yours.
