Russian Ukraine shenanigans
I don't think my commander will sign that particular off-duty employment form.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
I'm actually looking forward to the ball cap while wearing the flight suit.

Thirty Years Ago Today...The Falklands War Started
So, if Argentina is the attacker... does that trigger NATO Article 5? Because no matter what the parity is between Argentina and the UK, the US would absolutely dominate Argentina.

The Next President is...
And who is funding groups like Q-Anon and the Proud Boys?

Lighten Up Francis!
I wish. I'd quit the Air Force and be a full- time Doge investor.

Not sure that even in Nordic countries there are many 95/5% splits in jobs by gender...- The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
What's "the most qualified candidate" in a hiring environment with two jobs for every job seeker? I'd want to hire qualified candidates, sure. And I'd probably not pay much attention to race or gender (unless the resume uses they/them pronouns...immediate red flag). But I would not want to have a job where a bunch of old white guys question every woman and minority that gets hired.- The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Well, I'm not a pilot, so... But no. I have no desire trying to convince cold war fossils that we can be inclusive without lowering standards.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Nordstream pipeline sabotage?
Maybe we should send some foreign aid to Russia to help them deal with the loss?- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Interesting comparison given you're advocating for us to appease Russia like Neville Chamberlain.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
The simping for Putin and willingness to cede global leadership from an officer in the Air Force is stunning to me, so...- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Then I guess we re-evaluate our strategy and shore up Poland's borders.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
We keep feeding them weapons until Russia decides their losses are unsustainable.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
WW3? We haven't even taken it to combat in Ukraine. Is your assertion that we should never oppose dictators like Putin because we don't want to start WW3?- The Congressman is back yo
Agreed. I think it's disingenuous to call it an "armed insurrection", but I think it's equally disingenuous to dismiss it as "peaceful tourists". It was clearly a riot, not dissimilar from the ones the right was screaming about through the summer of 2020. Not an insurrection, but clearly criminal behavior.- The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Took a few years, but the patriarchy finally found a way to beat those feminists.- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Except they aren't recalling anyone. It's basically allowing people to rejoin like they would after any break in service.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
You would think the side that was the target of this disinformation for the last four years would be more wary of it, not more willing to spread it. Sure, Biden's done a lot of dumb things that don't help the country. But that doesn't mean absolutely everything he does is a disaster. This is just Trump Derangement Syndrome, repackaged to target Biden.- COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Keep dragging it up if you want. Maybe the rest of you are comfortable with a blatant violation of a direct order that doesn't even involve injecting yourself with a vaccine. And we wonder why so many airman can't take direction... But, to appease you all - yes, the masks were stupid. I've been asked to do a lot of stupid things in my career. Rarely have I seen one painted as such a political issue as this one.- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Did you pitch the same fit when Trump visited Israel and the West Bank? No US troops there either. I didn't know a US military presence was a prerequisite for diplomatic visits...- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
It's almost like part of the president's job is engaging foreign leaders...- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
So they plan to release you from your ADSC when "needs of the Air Force" take priority over your base of preference, right?- Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Which country invaded which again? I cannot believe the amount of Putin simps in the military. A major near-peer adversary is getting their ass handed to them militarily, economically, and culturally, but because your guy isn't in the White House you're upset about it. - The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
