I was failed on my physical when I tried to go in (they were slashing numbers) but worked as a civilian on the ramp, after literally growing up and being trained by my father (30 years active duty maintenance, followed by 16 as a civilian contractor for the Air Force) on the ramp.
I've made a few contacts over the years that are willing to keep me in the look when it comes to current operations and plans, and I have a few places to look for weapons improvements. I keep my hand in as much as I can anymore.edit on 8/28/2013 by Zaphod58 because: (no reason given)

I was under the impression the S-300 system was delivered via Ukraine (or one of those former soviet republics).

See, that's what I'm talking about. The Russian Foreign Minister has said the sales have been stopped. One source says that they went through the Ukraine and other former Soviet states and are in place. Yet another one says they won't arrive until next year. It's a very confusing issue.

The problem is no other first world country has the balls to intervene. I'm sick of the US constantly taking point because Europe is populated with sissies.

Well this thread topic is just WRONG. How much more BS can CNN spout out? Attack within hours? That was 2 days ago.
At any rate, the US has already stated the "attack" will last a matter of hours not days. Its going to be pinprick and over fast with probably anywhere betyween 10-15 targets hit. No big deal. Small enough so that Syria can say something like "if they do this again...."
Irasn is going to sit idly by and STFU like they always do. That goes for Russia and China as well. You dont believe me? Watch. I will be back this time next week.

If Assad uses WMDs again, he will be NUKED !!
HOWEVER, a flawless evidence has to be first agreed in order to blame either party. No doctoring of findings like in Iraq 2003.
The real matter here is Human Morality and way we will live in civilized societies.edit on 28-8-2013 by victor7 because: (no reason given)edit on 28-8-2013 by victor7 because: (no reason given)
