  1. No more lectures. I’m retired from that shitty hobby. I’m an MQ-9 pilot, never been an ROTC instructor, so I consider myself well qualified to say I’m “conducting foreign policy.” Many AFSCs can say the same whether you believe it or not. Again, I’ll say this and leave it to this. Many of y’all are sadly negative on the United States, a country I and I assume most of you have dedicated my life to serving in uniform. I tell the same thing to my zoomer daughter who’s a bit of a doomer leftist: temper your criticism with a dose of reality. America has its flaws but overall I still find us to be the good guys the vast majority of the time. If you believe otherwise, honestly it’s better if you are retired or choose to move on from uniformed service ASAP. TYFYS in both meanings of the phrase.
  2. Y'all are the sorriest bunch of pessimists I’ve ever seen, seriously. “Damn, the federal government and our foreign policy are so bad I just spent 20+ years working in the DoD and personally conducting American foreign policy.” 🤦‍♂️ Freaking sack up. Don’t be doomer Gen Z kids who think everything is inexorably fucked and they are to blame (bonus, everyone gets to fill in the they with whomever they want!). Be a good person and family member, be a good officer / pilot/ Commander / etc., be a good citizen and vote, run for office, etc. If something is broken try to fix it. You won’t always succeed but you should still try. It’s not all hopeless, everyone in charge isn’t just a moron in dire need of your brilliant counsel, but if you really think you can do it better then do it better. Talk is cheap, action isn’t, but it’s well worth the cost. I was taught all this shit as a child, were you guys not? America is already great, we’re not going anywhere fast, and yes we have our flaws but modern western liberal democratic capitalism is the worst system…except all the other ones. 🇺🇸
  3. Yea 80 years of being on top, what a disaster /sarcasm 😂
  4. I hear ya, and I'm as much of an Air Force partisan as anyone, but Army ADA branch and HIMARS capes are super useful in INDOPACOM.
  5. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=america+is+full The first result is the former president, current GOP presumptive presidential nominee and leader of the Republican party tweeting that exact phrase, “Our country is full.” The second link is a longtime GOP senator saying that exact phrase. Do I need to continue?
  6. Inshallah we will land safely…green light!
  7. Lol, air littorals. I can never hear that word and not think "clitoral warfare" and laugh.
  8. Terrible end for a clearly disturbed person. Obviously had no business near a commission or a security clearance.
  9. In my very limited interactions with Dag, I was not impressed. If he is indeed next, it sucks that AFSOC's leadership selection process keeps hitting foul balls over and over again at the highest levels...
  10. Anyone who thinks the USA is overly racist or that our government is a big offender for persecuting people due to political views or political speech…I highly encourage you to visit ::waives hands around wildly:: almost any other country.
  11. I heard RUMINT at one point that "the plan" was to take both Slife the Knife and Fat Tony and exile them to Korea as a career-killer SOF backwater, but that happened right as KJU started sabre-rattling, suddenly Korea mattered again, and inexplicably they both snatched victory (i.e. more stars) from the jaws of defeat. 🤷‍♂️ It's quite hard to F-kill toxic senior leaders in any large organization, I guess I just had higher hopes that AFSOC would find a way in this case. Here's to hoping those poor bastard USAFA cadets get a (big!) new CC and AFSOC can be rid of the Sith once and for all.
  12. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/14/national-security-threat-mike-turner/ It’s Russian space nukes, not Iran. I believe I saw a documentary about this back in the day…
  13. Yep, I shit you not unfortunately. Big “under new ownership!” energy.
