I believe the draft was dated April 3rd...but ok it was released on May 3rd and now we have threats and endorsement from a sitting Governor to fight and burn it down...
So to be clear its cool when BLM and Antifa actually do storm and burn down government buildings or do you condemn them? Also, you can threaten violence or say fight like hell and it is cool if it come from a liberal.
Thanks, it all makes sense now.

Also not "latest", but I like Red Flag: The Ultimate Game (1981). My dad was was flying F-4s there at the time so maybe I'm biased.
That movie was made with the full support of the US Air Force and maximum participation of public affairs. It is a horrible embarrassment to our beloved service.

We voted for Biden. We are getting what we voted for.
Good and hard.

Not a movie, but if you have Amazon Prime, I’d recommend checking out Counterpart. It premiered on Starz back in 2017; interesting concept and really entertaining.
And yeah, boo China. They’re the worst. This shit didn’t fly when Harvey Weinstein ran Hollywood. #justsayin /s
+1 for counterpart

1. One thing most young folk don’t think about/realize (and I didn’t either until a Reservist educated me), is that once you turn 65, under current law you have to pay for Medicare part A AND part B, for Tricare to then kick in as your supplemental insurance (unless you have a qualifying disability). So for most people, Tricare for life (TFL) is really only the most financially beneficial between your AD retirement and 65. Unless of course you have a family member who is EFMP, etc that has a lot of expensive medical bills…obviously changes the math for some in that position. Also, are you gonna live/retire near a large military hospital/installation or in a city that has a lot of (good) doctors who will accept Tricare? (Why does San Antonio have so many retirees again?!—great town, not knocking it, just making a point).
Food for thought.
In my experience TFL is the Golden Ticket for US health insurance. All major health systems take it, as do most individual practitioners. It is far more widely accepted than Tricare alone. Most things wind up being almost free, up to and including major surgery and almost all drugs.
My wife was recently presided a rare brand name only drug that you can’t even get at a regular pharmacy. The doctor had to make a call, but it was approved. Retail price: $6800/month. TFL price: $30.
Can retirees even use military hospitals any more?

It’s been awhile, but my staff work was at least 85% classified, and a fair amount of that was TS/SCI.
I did know a couple of guys in special access programs that had secure phones at home, is that done these days?
Can classified work can be be done from home in today’s Air Force?n

Do Guard non-fighter units ever send new guys to ENJJPT?

Driver61 actually read the FIA rules, and similar to aviation, it turns out that the race director can waive rules if he thinks it is in the best interest of racing. There is also a policy which discourages finishing races behind the safety car.

Man I’d love to look into the parallel universe where a still President Trump overtly says in the media “we are under no obligation to protect Ukraine,” and then punts it to NATO to make the call on any response.
I’m sure that would be totally respected and not met with raging criticism.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkTrump has been constantly anti-quagmire for years. It would have been shocking if he suddenly wanted a shooting war with Russia.
Of course it is highly unlikely that Putin would be putting on this show if Trump was still President.

Fully expect the Justice Department to bring civil rights violation charges against Kyle Rittenhouse in order to get a second bite at the Apple.

Snowden should be held as a national hero. Everyone should read his book.
Had Snowden only released information about possibly illegal wiretapping then you might have an argument.
Instead, he downloaded hundreds, possibly thousands of highly classified information on US sources and methods. Gifting them to Russia.
Snowden is a traitor, he deserves to share a cell with Robert Hansen. For life.

“ No US presidential administration has collapsed/resigned for a large military failure, attack, …”.
Tell that to President Carter.

There was a one sentance remark on the radio news to the effect that “we will continue to provide air support’ in conjunction with Biden’s remarks on the pullout.
Is there any plan to continue to fly into Afghanistan after the August 11 deadline?

The first amendment doesn't protect one from consequences. You're welcome to put anything you'd like on your Facebook page, but there's nothing saying you won't face consequences from doing so.
Why do I have the feeling that @waingro is maneuvering to be the Wing Zampolit?

Basically. It scraps all other federal taxes (income, capital gains, employment, etc) and replaces it with a universal national sales tax.
Along with the proposal was the "pre-bate", or paying a monthly payment to low-income folks so they aren't crippled by the tax until tax return time.
That is fine if and only if the 16th amendment was repealed first.

Obama owns two waterfront mansions. Biden owns one. The Bush family owns one. I bet Kerry owns one.
All of them travel via Gulfstream.
I’ll believe I have to give up fossil fuels when these people start living like climate change is real.
