Because we've run our military into the ground, and can barely operate as needed for training, let alone operational purposes. That's not something you can fix without money.

There are American soldiers fighting out there. I would have hoped that people would at least stop the partisan rhetoric for a few minutes until some real facts come in, not just a bunch of what-if and guessing. But no. Here it is, plain as day. Party line bullsh1t knee deep and piling up fast. Way to go. I bet you are proud of yourselves.

Units that are deploying now are taking aircraft from units that aren't deploying, just so they can have enough flyable aircraft to deploy. Readiness rates are all down into the 70% range, with the two best being the A-10 and B-52. The Depot is so far behind it's not even funny. And that's not even touching the OBOGS/ECS issues that have cropped up in the trainers, and F-18s in the last few years.

I'm just glad Hillary didn't win the election. Because then we'd be at war in Syria and maybe even starting WW3 with Russia.
Dodged a bullet with that one.
Funny!
Another trump hater cheering for the deep state and their war against trump, beliebing he is a putin puppet
Then when he goes against Russia you hate him for that too
Just a taste for the new talking points
Trump won’t bomb Syria “trump is a Putin stooge!”
Trump bombs Syria “trump is an evil war monger!”
Hey, I'm just glad we don't have a warmonger as a president. Someone who would just attack a country without congressional approval. We don't have to worry about that with Trump.
Sure!
Trumps a scum bag for this.
I glad you can so flippantly act like you haven’t been cheering on the deep state for a year now, and now pretend to be outraged when trump goes along with their white she’s.
You ought to be ashamed
People like me warned you over and over, the intel community lies, they are war mongers, trump is talking sense not want war with Russia and Syria.
But all the while you and many others said no trump was a Russian stooge, and we had to cheer on the intel communities attacks of him
And now minutes after the strike they wanted you want us to forget your cheerleading?
Own up to it.
You want ed this death, and you got it.
What are you even talking about? What do you want me to own up to? Lmao.
You really believe I wish death on people because I don't believe in some conspiracy where Donald Trump is the savior fighting a secret government? Grow up.
There's only one government, and it's the same one Donald Trump just used to lob missiles at a foreign country without congressional approval. Please don't bring your BS right wing propaganda here and accuse others of wishing death on people because they don't share your delusion.

They wont, because they are buying into all the hype being spewed by the media, not to mention just what Trump was saying.
They dont know the real conditions........they are too busy cheerleading to actually look into the facts.......
I even have an Airforce friend (state side only ever deployed to Germany i think) who thinks this is a great stance to think.....but hes also a die hard Trump supporter......
Despite everything hes been involved in , hes still blinded by all that........it blows my mind

Heavies coming non-stop out of the ME region usually hit over the Med, somewhere over France or near the UK, then make the crossing and hit tankers on our side of the Atlantic. With that many tankers, we've got to be looking at at least two heavies, and the fighter packages. The fighters probably came out of, or recovered to Crete or somewhere closer. That's a hell of a flight from France, to Syria and back, with a combat run in the middle of it.
My money is on a pair of Spirits out of Whiteman.
