Speaking of tin foil hats.. If Fordow was a primary target, then what was Israel's gameplan? Did they have assurances we'd bring the hammer once they did the heavy lifting? I doubt they just assumed DJT would do it without a discussion. Or is Fordow just not that big of a deal?

We could waste billions on resurrecting a 50s era aircraft like the WB-57 for C2... or we could use... space..

He made a visit awhile back and had a 30 minute diatribe about the definition of quality in relation to UPT grads. At the end of it he said, "I mean do you want more pilots or what?" No, no I would prefer good pilots to lower quality/high quantity pilots. He could run for office tomorrow with how slippery he attempted to be not answering a direct question. What's comical is, if he and the rest of management are so confident this is the right way to produce pilots, why don't they have the balls to say, "yes we're going to produce as many as we can and quality will suffer."? Idk what he was like previously, but I can tell you a room full of crusty old IPs all thought he was completely full of shit.

Did they think we were sending dependents home from the Middle East as a negotiation tactic..? Just sleeping at home like nothing is gonna happen.

First, I wouldn't DOR, because I know I'd regret it. Second, welcome to the Air Force. I've had very similar management to what you're describing in multiple commands, so don't expect the skies to clear once you're done with UPT, YMMV. Get through UPT, get your 10 years done and decide if you're going to go airlines, guard, or a combination of the two. Obviously, you can math out both paths to determine what sets up you and your family in the best financial spot. However, if you decide to take your ball and go home, make sure the bobs know why. Do it professionally, but make it known. It probably won't matter, but if you're doing well and quit, it will raise some eyebrows. If it becomes a trend, there's an RCH of a possibility something positive will come from it for those that follow.

I get the facts about psi etc. on a tank driving straight down a road, but what about when they turn and do tank things. How's the impact of that on asphalt/concrete. Also, to prevent any triggering, I'm just curious.

Quick, arm all of the ISR satellites!

Did we transition to the what's wrong with the Air Force thread? This level of management definitely fits.

I 100% agree with the liberals on this. He should have said yes. The ten paragraph conservatives on here would have posted 10 paragraph responses in outrage if it was a liberal president answering this question...except that president would be defending a position conservatives don't support. That being said, it's worth noting that humans aren't perfect. Context matters. This administration sees any question from the MSM as an attempt to undermind etc. just as any question from foxnews would have been for the previous administration. A question that's clear and simple to a service member might not be clear and simple to a politician on the defensive. If a politician is attempting to change the constitution (name your favorite amendment, maybe the 13th) and they're asked if they're required to support/defend the constitution, the answer might not necessarily be yes. By all means though, liberals continue to spit the same shit that you were bitching about conservatives saying 6-7 months ago, and conservatives continue to defend your dude for the same shit you would have abhorred during the same period.

Checks. The whole BS spiel from Boeing back in '18 was it would be cheaper to leave the seat in what was basically the F-15QA, oh and also you'd only need a 3 sim spin-up..

I have no need to defend anyone. This isn't a partisan critique. If there were MAGA dudes posting nothing more than twitter posts back to back I'd call them out as well. This isn't twitter. If you want to post something relevant to the topic from another site then fine, but posting screenshots multiple times in a row and nothing else is spam. Period.

@Moderators Just curious how many Twitter links back to back can a member post with zero comment and no value added to the forum before it's determined to be spam?

You know what's comical about all the hand wringing, reposted tweets from randos, memes etc. being posted by the far left BO crowd? The dudes on the right love seeing those posts. They laugh at what they see as TDS and relish in the fact that there are grown men, some who are actually pilots, that are losing their shit on a forum because their team lost.

This dude is a nonner for sure. Whether he has wings or not..
