25% only covers the price of inflation....so, they really gain nothing

It's an important acknowledgement to Biden voters that they will be taken care of, no matter what.

True...but...still wondering if it's bs, or even a current photo.
I just watched a video of people falling from the wheels of military aircraft.

It can be parted out, and sent to China for reverse engineering, though.

They probably have those specs already. Hell, Clinton even gave them prop specs for our subs that are a closely guarded national secret.

Second question - when our troops were removed, we are seeing that some equipment was clearly left behind, but how much of it that was left behind was operable, and how do we ensure it does not make its way into places like Iran?

All equipment that is classified has either been removed or destroyed on spot. There is no room for compromise on that.

Yeah....I don't feel that strongly about that given the current administration, USA haters, and weasels in the WH.

Boots and Suits (this includes top military brass) are two different groups when you are on the ground.

Boots on ground would do exactly what I mentioned lest they get nailed to a cross.

I don't doubt that's SOP; what I do doubt is that all the suits currently have that type of integrity.

True. Politicians and the very top brass can't be trusted.

Obama and co. were right, Biden is a ****ing imbecile.

Inherited Bill Clinton 2.0 situation - economic set-up so strong going forward, all he had to do to be a 2 term President was not die and not fall completely on his face and f*** it up.

He's fallen on his face and completely ****ed up 7 months in. What a disaster.

I'm stunned. The incompetence is staggering. They've finally changed course and decided to wheel him out for a speech today. Anything other than a forceful and accountable "buck stops here" statement, and he's toast. This had better be an epic performance they're writing up, because "Orangeman bad orangeman's fault" isn't going to cut it with anyone who isn't a blind partisan devotee.
