    But to the LW, feeding, educating and providing medical care to illegals while our vets go wanting isn't a waste. Crazy.

    What you see from your foreign perch says little about anything.

    Not even that since you can't put in proper perspective.

    Are you not aware illegals go to our schools and hospitals at no cost to them? How come Hollywood stars go to prison for cheating to get their kids into college, but illegals who cheat to get here get free college?

    The only pretending has been by the leftist pretending the Russians only now have engaged in propaganda and disinformation and only to defeat Hillary Clinton and Presidents have always exchanged advice and information with foreign leaders.

    I cold never figure out why the feminine powder blue?
    Now we know why, it was Jackie Kennedy doing it.

    Thank God that Valerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama were in a state of inebriation half of the time or Air Force One would be painted in a PC rainbow color scheme today.

    To those who lack any military knowledge

    Air Force Official on the F-35: “It's like fighting Mr. Invisible.”

    “Even if you were in an Eagle or J-20... You felt the same thing,” a senior Air Force official with an air superiority background told me after my flight—referring to the feeling of utter helplessness of being attacked by an invisible enemy.

    Look at what stealth means and come back to me.. Yes while its in flight radar can not "see it".

    You are aware that is how planes are tracked while in flight yes?

    Just testing that vaunted Aussie education.

    Stop digging your hole. Radar is how we see and track enemy aircraft. Tell me does your ATC use radar or binoculars to control traffic?

    'FYI

    Before there was an Air Force One there was U.S. Car No. 1

    [​IMG]



    U.S. Car No.1
    is the only private coach railroad car specifically designed for the president of the United States. The Pullman Company built the Ferdinand Magellan in 1928, and refurbished the car and presented it (dubbed U.S. Car No.1) to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on December 18, 1942. Both President Roosevelt and President Truman used the car extensively for state business, reelection campaigns, and personal trips. President Dwight D. Eisenhower briefly used U.S. Car No. 1 until air travel on Air Force I began to replace U.S. Car No. 1 as the preferred means of transport. In October 1984, Ronald Reagan requested the use of U.S. Car No.1 for a one-day whistle stop reelection campaign trip to Ohio in commemoration of rail travel.

    In 1941 in the midst of World War II, President Roosevelt consented to the urging of aides to have a private railcar reconfigured for his safety and comfort and that of future presidents. Originally built by the Pullman Company as the Ferdinand Magellan, the car was part of a fleet of six luxury cars, all named for famous explorers and available for private charter. Armor-plated with 5/8-inch steel on the car’s roof, floor, and sides and fitted with three-inch thick windows and two escape hatches, the refurbished car weighed 285,000 pounds, double its original weight. U.S. Car No. 1 is the heaviest railcar ever built in the United States. Security removed the name Ferdinand Magellan from the sides of the car and only "Pullman" remained, making the coach resemble, from a distance, an ordinary private car. For the remainder of World War II, this rolling fortress moved under the code word "POTUS" for President of the United States. POTUS had the right-of-way over all other rail traffic.

    The 84-feet long, 15-feet high, and 10-feet wide train car, contains the presidential suite, two guest rooms, a dining room/conference room, and an observation lounge. Each room in the car has a telephone. The elimination of one of the usual five staterooms allowed for a spacious observation lounge, decorated with cream-colored woodwork, green carpeting and light brown, tufted wall covering resembling leather...

    How do you think the enemy "sees" our aircraft?

    I've never seen someone dig a hole so fast with such desperation.. My guess is this thread is being reported for ...something.
