  1. We absolutely should help Ukraine along with assure NATO and defend the Eastern Flank. Perhaps many are questioning the notion of sending blank checks to Ukraine (with no audit mechanism) indefinitely without a larger overarching strategy?
  2. RUMINT that SECAF has announced through AFPC that AADs are going to be unmasked for 0-4 and O-5 promotion boards starting CY23…anyone else heard similar?
  3. Absolutely, AMC’s culture has really changed recently, largely thanks to Mini. Young cats are in the vault more than ever and excited about planning and executing challenging profiles and exercises. Thank god because INDOPACOM presents a logistical challenge like no other, EUCOM would be no cake walk either. There are still your AMC careerists and your toxic old hats who scoff at anything more challenging than SKE VIS PRO..but I’m really impressed and optimistic with the way the community is headed.
  4. We still deploy to CENTCOM, because that command gets whatever it wants regardless of OPSTEMPO, my old Sq is doing training exercises and Dubai Airshows. Wouldn’t call Dubai highlife “bored,” but makes you think if resources could be used wiser.
  5. The German Government here has total control over people’s lives, and they just roll over and take it STS. God what short memories these people have…
  6. DeSantis won Miami Dade county which is traditionally both heavily Blue and Hispanic. I don’t think Democrats can count on Hispanics anymore. The days of taking for granted token minorities is over for the far left.
  7. Thank you for making the case of having a limited government, and a constitution that limits the power of elected officials..almost like our founding fathers intended. The RNC didn’t chose Trump, Trump chose the RNC. Trump was a reaction to years of condescending and elitist behavior from Obama and his like who only cared about costal metropolises and Chicago. Most Americans want a government that leaves them the hell alone and protects/values American ideals. Trump spoke to that crowd. But yes, time for him to go, way too toxic. A DeSantis or Haley ticket would revive the Republicans.
  8. Leftists: “We should be more like Europe!” Leftists when they learn about most European country’s abortion laws: “….” Leftists: “We should be more like Japan, no one is allowed to own guns!” Leftists when they learn about Japan’s strict immigration laws: “….”
  9. He is senile and has been showing signs of dementia. Making up false memories is one of the symptoms of dementia. While he always was, and will always be a douche, shame on his handlers for stringing and dragging him along. This is elder abuse plain and simple. He should have resigned years ago.
  10. I don’t think Republicans will just let Trump run as a 3rd Party. They will make whatever deal they would have to. That would be a real shitty situation. Another reason we should have rank/preferential voting instead of winner takes all.
  11. Yepp, left a drunk loadmaster behind once at bus time (we had two for this mission and only needed one to get home). Commander had my back.
  12. California doing California things. I feel sorry for everyone that lives East of I-5.
  13. Every POTUS and their administration shares the blame in our failed Afghanistan strategy. The NEO, and leaving Americans and Allies behind, happened under the current administration.
  14. I would love them to first and foremost investigate our abject failure that was the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
  15. Man this is going to make Biden’s proposed 37 Billion Dollar aid package to Ukraine all the more interesting.
  16. Sounds like a great opportunity for Ron DeSantis. There was a Red Wave…in Florida. Now granted the population is probably swayed by the retirees but a ton of young Latinos voted conservative as well.
  17. “Hey White Boy, you’re in the wrong neighborhood”…thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy. But it doesn’t matter, this woke conversation only goes one way, we all know that. Which is fine, didn’t give a shit till it started to infect the military.
  18. Dude it’s 2022, everything is Racist. Highways, elections, SATs, pilot training.…you’re even a racist just for posting this!
  19. You’ve clearly forgotten being hassled by Qatari Immigrant Agents at the Died 😉 But seriously all valid points. I never understood why we cow towed to the Saudis besides oil, and let their spoiled shitty pilot students waste our IPs time in UPT. My only other remaining theory is that we would need them (access, basing, overflight) if things ever kicked off with Iran?
  20. If I were them I’d chose now, in 2 years we might have a CINC that can string a sentence together. Disclaimer: To be clear I hope to god we never have to be in a position to confront China in a conflict.
  21. Many of the people I know in these states were quite happy with the draconian measures. Let’s not forget a good chunk of the country is very content with and needs the security blanket provided by the big government, in more ways than one. These are the Karen’s that will scream at your child if their mask falls off their nose. These states get what they deserve - one of the reasons Florida has become so red is that New York ran most of the conservatives out of the state.
