How about some troops on our own southern border???????
The pogues just want places they can tour Europe from on the taxpayer’s dime.
You beat me to it. How about fighting the terrorists pouring in from Mexico?
Everything this regime does hurts America and helps the enemy.
The emperor has no clothes. The free world needs America to replace this mistake with a leader.
Deja-Vu all over again
If you liked what happened in Iraq you will love what is going to happen in Afghanistan.
At the same time, the US is pulling out of three or four air bases in the UK.
One brigade is a speed bump if the fighting becomes generalized.
I was taught a long time ago that RAF == Royal Air Force.
No, Afghanistan is going to be different. The terrorists will take control quickly, execute anyone who played ball with the Americans, and take the country back to the 10th century in fairly short order.
Don’t worry Maggie, the Army is now cutting its strength to 450,000 thus giving even fewer soldiers to do more missions. At least according to a friend in the Pentagon
How about some more European troops in Europe?
That economic powerhouse, the EU, cannot defend itself…yet?
There isn’t really much left of the Royal Air Force- perhaps everyone considered the RAF initials as available for recycle.
Leaving out training and executive transport, with which they are well stocked, fixed wing assets:
24 C-130s
1 A400
18 C17
Support
10 Airbus tankers
Recon
1 RC135
5 EC135
3 BN Isslanders
5 Raytheon Sentinels
6 Beachcraft Shadows
Combat
102 Tornado (scheduled for retirement within 50 months)
125 Typhoons
4 F35B
Actually, what America needs most is to repent and turn back to God.
;-(
So true. I just finished reading The Harbinger. That’s exactly what the whole western world needs.
Perhaps the Commander In CHief has finally become Bored with Golf and B Ball...and is looking forward to leading....the troops into Europe??
I have always thought the “Reforger” concept is poor plan planning.
Even during the Korean and Vietnam wars, most of our military was defending us from the Russians.
We are part of NATO.
