Speaking of which

No-one has to. It's obvious at this point. If whatever media you choose is headlining something that rhymes with "fine people on both sides", it's 99% certainty that checking the surrounding two minutes or less of tape will yield the polar opposite of the narrative being peddled.

Ahhh, that makes a lot more sense.

So these are FAIP awards going to the T-38...before they've ever flown a T-38. Bold move, Cotton

Mix? FAIP, AdAir?

Any time it’s written or said that the Air Force supports the CAS mission: Straight up bullshit.

Juxtaposed against our decision to kick Turkey out of the Fat Amy club for their decision to shop at the other retailer...could generate some interesting rebuttals.

Does beg the question why the entire order was for family models.

That would be, in essence, the extent of the process that they are due. An officer in the field should be able to investigate and determine legal status fairly easily. I can prove my legal status lickety split...I get to stay. This idea that every alien should get hearings ad infinitum is absurd.

Slightly off topic, but with just enough venn overlap: I’ve lost count the number of times a CA I’m flying with (.civ guys) says “I think they should just build new A-10s.” As long as we have another hour in cruise, I’ll paint the picture of 50 years of technology advances being the toys in the Eyes Wide Shut party between DoD program requirements and industry, and how that would create an incestuous love baby that will only get ripped apart across as many congressional districts as possible to create some too-big-to-fail abomination that would resemble the original A-10 about as closely as an ice cream truck. And I somehow feel re-victimized every time.

Ok, maybe my reading comprehension is falling short, but all I’m seeing is “loss of trust and confidence” boilerplate. Quick talk on?
