By this point you have to be a clown to believe that the news is accurate, especially when it deals with something as nuanced as Air Force separations. If they applied for Tera and were approved, then after the fact had their approval denied because of their transgenderism, that's bullshit. If they applied for Tera and were denied, and there is not currently a blanket approval process in place for Tera, then they are just what, angry they aren't getting the money? If they waited to apply for Tera until after they found out they were going to be separated due to their transgenderism, then I'm not sure what the issue here is. Tera is a voluntary program meant to incentivize people to leave of their own accord, correct? Waiting until the military decides you will no longer be serving not the intent of the program. Does anybody really believe that the news is going to get that right, or that the transgender people getting kicked out are going to fairly represent that in the media? Seems unlikely.

These people are caught in the middle of a political fight. TERA was there and offered for ALL 15-18 years as a force shaping tool. DoD changed the policy on their service AND took TERA away, this punitive and we are better than this. I, like Biff I don't understand transgender and I tend to believe there is more disruption from their service than there is good. That being said, we don't have to rub salt in the wound as we push them out there door.

The DNC continues to be dominated by lunatics and with their grip on mainstream media, it spews out everyday on what used to be influential networks. Recently Dr Neil Degrasse Tyson was being interviewed on CBS about Trump's plan to build a moon base as part of continued space exploration. The interviewer had to find a way to say something negative about Trump and his policies so he tied a moon base to the evils of western colonization on earth. "We know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet," the host said. Degrasse Tyson who is a very liberal dude could not help but quip back - "Well, the — the real problem with the colonization history in Western civilization is that there were people already there," Tyson said. CBS host frets Trump admin plans for moon base could usher in new 'age of colonialism' in space

Why should they get retirement when they’ve done less than 18 yrs? They haven’t performed the requisite amount of service and therefore haven’t earned it. And they’re not getting medically discharged, so that angle is N/A. Those 18+ YOS are getting it, which again isn’t earned, but good for them; I won’t hate the player and don’t blame them for getting it. I imagine there are some dipshit leaders who stupidly made promises they couldn’t back up, but that’s not the DoD’s fault.

ATC: "BLUE STREAK 5342, go around immediately, collision warning." What the fuck is so hard about saying that?

It depends on who you ask. It worked out well for a lot of people. Don't forget to blame all of the world's problems on something dead people did a few hundred years ago.

So DoD did offer them all TERA, they signed the agreement, and then DoD said “nevermind?” That is BS if true.

Rt4 and glidepath to Rwy33 gave less than 100ft of vertical clearance. Allowing ATC to give that clearance was poor design. Actually clearing traffic on that section of Rt4 while landing airliners to 33 was a huge error on ATC, imo. The crew biting off on the wrong airliner for vis sep was the final nail. I think it's obvious the designer of the HRC was thinking about Rwy 01 ops vs 33.

Baro alt variations amongst the fleet in that airspace is very interesting. This accident was going to happen no matter who was piloting at some point if it was allowed to continue.

Easy fix: Don't clear someone for visual separation on route four if there's an aircraft on short final to 33. Complacency from both Tower and the Helo caused this.

So congress is addressing something that had zero to do with the accident - “look, we’re doing something everybody!” Or, maybe you change the procedures, which actually will make a difference. Idiots.
