I take a back seat to no one in my contempt for Bill Clinton and his ridiculous administration, but I also don't think Russia is much of a friend even under the best of circumstances.
I just can’t help but things could have been better, we will never know. I just think the bombing of Serbia, because they were on the front lines of stopping Islamic expansionism, changed the course of history.
I was deployed to RAF Fairford in 91 when the provisional bomber wing of B 52’s flew daily missions from England to the desert. They would leave early in the morning and return at night to reload. Nothing says US power like a flight of these monsters flying out fully loaded with bombs in the morning and returning later in the day empty. I still want to cheer when I think of that sound and the sky filling up with those beauties.
That is where we are in a nutshell, wrecked military and all. This economy has not grown in more than 8 years. This economy has pretty much not grown since 9/11 and that was not all bongo’s fault but he has kicked it over the edge.
Carpet bombing puts the fear of God in the Enemy!!!
When I was in Nam in 1968-69 we could feel the bombs hitting the ground 25 miles away.. Felt like an earth quake!! Everything shakes!!!
Thank you. I’ve been saying for 20 years that we were on the wrong side in the Balkans conflict.
I agree.
I call it “King William’s Great Patriotic War Against Serbia”.
Where have you been? The B-52 and B-1s were doing that in Afghanistan. This is nothing new. The B-52s will simply be replacing the B-1s in the air interdiction and close air support missions over Iraq and Syria.
They have recently upgraded to the new Sniper targeting pod.
