You are correct except that the compex you refer to was between select IAF units and several of our Navy squadrons. Our people did not acquit themselves well. This occurred during the second term of the Great Cowardly SinkWanker, when his quisling cabal's endless depredations against naval aviation were having serious effects on materiel readiness, training and morale. So, this single episode does not support the conclusion that the IAF is supernormal. That conclusion would be supportable if and only if the Great Cowardly Quisling had been trashing the IAF for five or six years. Let us hope that NavAir is well on the road to recovery. Certainly their conduct of air strikes deep into Afghanistan for six or eight weeks [while the AirFarce tacair people waited for their 15,000' runways, fuel dumps and GSE to be put in place]indicates that they are up to speed, however short of materiel they may be. P.S. Nothing against the BUFF's and the B-1's. They were out#%#*ingstanding.

Thanks for the clarification. I suspect it will take years for our military to recover from those eight years but at least the damage has been halted and begun to be reversed. Thank the Lord for those few hundred votes in Florida.

That's good! I hadn't heard that particular phrasing before. :)
