Nothing that can't be fixed by another "Back to Basics" read file

I think Trump confused sedition and treason (and the max punishment for each). Regardless, another example of not thinking it through before opening one’s mouth.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-proposed-28-point-russia-ukraine-peace-plan/ Several outlets are covering this not just CBS so pick your own slant. I know we all have our opinions on how this should go but rewarding Putin who is by all accounts a war criminal just makes sick. We have people on death row in this country for far less. Reminds me of a lot of American politicians who finally get worn down by an issue and just want it off their plate so they can finish out their term. On some level in fairness, I understand we have to play by rules and Putin does not. Afghanistan had both Biden and Trump half assing it and we see how that went when all was said and done. Afghanistan we can mostly ignore today but Ukraine and its potential fallout (heaven help us if that becomes literally) will be a problem again one day. Trump figures things will hold until he's out of office or this worldly realm and not his problem. Our kids and grandkids probably won't be as lucky. I can guarantee any treaty will be followed by only one side. This was on a plaque at what was once a temporary cemetery near Foy Belgium for over 2000 from the Battle of the Bulge and I think it still carries truth 80 plus years later. We have only died in vain if you believe so; You have to decide the wisdom of our choice, By the world which you shall build upon our headstones, And the everlasting truth, which have your voice. Though dead, we are not heroes yet, nor can be, 'Til the living by their lives which are the tools, Carve us the epitaph of wise men, And give us not the epitaph of fools. David J. Phillips, 506th P.I.R./ 101st Abne Div."

I know, and am friends with, several great dudes who are WSOs. They’re also smart and very capable human beings. That said, get rid of their positions in totality as aircraft advancements allow. There’s good reason we don’t have FEs on airliners anymore or navs on almost all aircraft models. There was absolutely a time and place, but those days are long gone. Stop trying to force a square peg into a round hole. They all need to accept this fact and move on… retire/get out early and transition to civ employment Shift to a different AFSC USAF reduce WSO production commensurate with current WSO-required aircraft retirements Stop trying to stupidly argue WSOs are required on new aircraft

Need a good solid Tiger team effort with a solid look at tshirt color and boot height.

Sure. We see/hear it plenty. They learned it from Trump himself. I think he's calling for executions of those Dems. See, despicable posturing ... or something. * * I do not condone either actions, just playing ref and throwing a flag on both plays.

Actually, I've dealt with numerous graduates from the AQIT course, and they know their shit. That said, I'd avoid acquisitions like a burrito from Taco Bell! And at least they don't have the word 'weapons' in their name!

I have never seen such an absolutely despicable and disgraceful posturing from any government official. Mark Kelly has been a disappointment for a long time, and this has put him squarely in the category of irredeemable.

An interesting wrinkle here is that the B-21 is already flying.. with two pilots. So I don’t know at what point they’re planning to transition to single pilot ops or how global strike plans to train up some WSO monitors who could theoretically AR or land in a pinch. Just an all around wildly bad idea. Root cause here is they have no clue what to do with WSOs as airframes that have them gradually go away, while we simultaneously hemorrhage pilots. Get stoned, kill two birds I guess.
