Spoiler alert, there are no good public schools, anywhere, at all.
Agree to disagree. We're fine here in my corner of the country.

Russia invades Ukraine. We send over 100 billion, who knows how much ammo/weapons and deplete our oil reserves. Iran waits for this to happen. They then use their proxy militaries and attack Israel. We send more money and ammo/weapons. Two carrier strike groups, fighter squadrons and a marine amphibious unit are now tied up. China makes a run at Taiwan next? Terrorist cells go live in the US via the open border? All without a functioning congress, a president in bad health who is probably compromised with a son facing felony charges and a ex president in court. All while we fight over identity politics.
Nothing to see here.
The parallels between this administration and that of Carter are truly uncanny.
The biggest difference is that we have no Reagan waiting in the wings to heal all the pain this administration has put us into.

I'm not good enough to be in the army, but smashing the large explosive rocket like that seems unsmart. Where's our local arty dude?

Well then. Seems like this is all going swimmingly. Good thing we have strong, savvy, and decisive leadership in the US. Over-under on real actions in the Taiwan straits before the next US election?

That's the problem with single issue voters, specifically in this case the hardcore religious right and hardcore woke left: they always miss the forest for the trees.

I wonder what was his function in the Pentagon.
Before reading the rest of this thread, I was going to guess he was in charge of the pilot retention team...

And the FAA's new face for HIMS? They'll probably rebrand it as HERS somehow for good ol' Patty...

Of course the Clinton's do Humanitarian Aid. Who do you think was hired to take care of Prigozhin?

how much say should the electorate have in the risk our leadership accepts on our behalf?
100% of the say. Unfortunately 'the people' largely can't or won't effectively communicate their opinion to Congress. We are a republic 'by the people, for the people' where 'the people' have had physical barriers placed between them and the governing body (note the new security fence around The Hill).
Decisions about this conflict are being made behind closed door by people who are not responsible for those decisions. Anyone who thinks that the Joe is setting the policy for our engagement there (which he's not responsible for), or that the Congress is actively involved in determining the direction of our grand strategy, is simply ignorant. Want proof? Try having a coherent and factual conversation about the Ukraine war with anyone over the age of 65. There are some bright and sage exceptions, but the majority of those conversations will rapidly devolve into inaccurate assumptions and unfounded preconceived notions.
That demographic is largely who are supposed to be responsible for setting policy in this conflict, because that's the demographic nominally in charge of our government right now.
To be blunt, they clearly aren't the ones setting policy for that conflict. THAT should concern everyone.

DIA not wanting to disclose sources and methods regarding information gathered (likely digital or human) in the only other country on the planet that poses a military and economic threat to the US security. Not shocking. Having seen how the sausage is made, I can attest that we overclassify the ever-living crap out of everything. Given very active Chinese efforts to infiltrate every aspect of our society, politics, and military, that's also not surprising. Frustrating as all hell, but not at all unexpected. I have no doubt that espionage effort is definitely a two way street.
What is sincerely concerning is the fact that our current leadership is not simply doing nothing at all to bring China to account for creating or at least not containing COVID, but that individuals in the administration are actively engaged in personal gain from Chinese influence, and have been for decades.

One eyed pilot safely lands hate box glider in the mud
I can only guess that @HuggyU2 was the right seat IP on this one.

Apparently we learned nothing in the past 3 years. Fun fact refreshers:
- According to Johns Hopkins It takes 5-10 years to completely develop and study a vaccine. History tells us it take longer then that. Logic says it takes 20 years to do a 20 year study on the 20 year impact of a vaccine....weird. It's been 3 since this show all started.
- Modern news agencies exist to do one thing: Make Money...which they do by getting us to click...which they do by posting scary stories.
- Politicians want a crisis during an election. This should shock no one. Stop feeding into the real enemy's game (politicians trying to polarize their bases). They don't care about you, they just want to retain or gain power.
Everyone chill out.
Frankly, I think @Biff_T has the right line here. Can we somehow link the word replacement game with a drinking game?

Opinion: Does Age 67 have anything to do with it?
Great question. Consensus of dudes I've spoken with seems to be that 67 would be a complete PITA, as those dude couldn't fly outside CONUS because of ICAO rules. That would necessitate making a whole set of unique domestic lines for 65-67 year olds, many of whom are on the international fleets. So maybe they're trying to kick the 67 can down the road until ICAO is sorted, as well as voluntarily shrinking the fleet as package volume declines. Two birds, one stone. Hell, from 2008 to 2014 when we didn't hire, they shrank from 3100-2200 pilots. That could well happen again.
Long story short, no one knows and Brown a telling, but it would make sense...though I won't be surprised when they announce their parking the entire MD fleet in January...but that's 100% RUMINT.
One fact for sure: We won't be hiring until COVID-24 kicks in.

That fine print you can't read:

This is targeting the UPS dudes that just took early retirement. Not sure how it'd work for a junior dude who quits UPS to jump ship. My gut says:
