A person who doesn’t give one shit about the pilots or the support crew involved, simply doesn’t care about anybody but himself and thinks that he can be a big man if he does this.

We’re not only talking about the piece of shit himself but the piece of shit Secretary of defense Hegseth

How many stealth planes do we have? This is the poorest tactical defense I have ever seen. Why doesn't Hegseth simply send each adversary a map of our defenses? That way, he can make friends and influence outcomes.

I have the impression that he and trump are playing some kind of real life war game. I wonder how much money they are spending to do this, running around and threatening other countries like pirates, moving the players around and feeling the testosterone flow..

Did PR have any choice? They could be a huge voting block in the future. This is the territory where Trump tossed paper towels at them so they could clean up after the hurricane. And then, he left them in the dark. They couldn't love him so much.
