While you are praying, also pray against the spirit of anti-Christ that is ruling our nation.
Gotta save money so Obama and his family can take those multi-million-dollar vacations.

“spirit of anti-Christ”? Try more like the anti-Christ himself
FWIW, A conditioning in the desert doesn’t promote acclimatization. Summer colds are much more common when troops/Marines are garrisoned in air conditioned environments, instead of cooled by evaporative cooling.
Many package units are designed to cool to a differential temperature of about 40 degrees. 120F outside, 80 degrees in AC. 130F outside, 90 deg AC.
Swamp cooling tends to reduce the temp by about 15deg-25 deg, but provides 3X as much ventilation. The perceptible temperature is more efficiently influenced by the cooler air flowing over the body, instead of the entire environment being reduced in temp.
IOW, It’s healthier for the grunt to live with swamp cooling in the desert.
NO money for Veterans in America
Money for guns in FAST&Furious and for terrorists' lawyers WORLDWIDE
NO money for American troops at the War Front
Money for MANPADS for al Qaeda under Obama and the US Congress.
NO money for investigations of Obama's IRS attacking Americans
Money for Billion dollar Obama Safaris taking hundreds of people all for His Majesty's pleasure.
NO money for the whistleblowers and victims of Obama's Benghazi fiasco.
I’m not surprised.
Where I work, anyplace there is central air, the garrison sets the temperature at 78 degrees.
And they will not relent.
Thousands of American military sweat while the community organizer flies around the world on vacation in a 747.
I have no problem with this. I to work in 100+ heat all
day and I keep my thermostat at 78 night and 80 during
the day. It’s called acclimation. You get used to it and
comfortable in higher temperatures. All they have to do
is quit being whiny wusses and set an example for the rest
of the federal employees. Send them a case of deodorant.
It’s the whine effect Obama is after. Don’t give it to
him.
what the thermostats set in the White House while barry and mooch and her mama gone?
Probably keepin it cool so the dog wont be uncomfortable
It’s Mr. Mercat’s theory that our A/C can only cool our house to 20 degrees cooler than the outside temp. So for example, if the outside temp is 100, our house can only get down to 80. I find this to be true when it is 100 plus for several days running. And we have a pretty good unit.
Part of Zer0’s climate change initiative. Those darned air conditioners create a ton of green house gases.
F U B O !
77 is 77. I don’t understand the uproar.
I pray for our troops’ safe return.
Don't worry about it too much. Most systems over here can only knock off about 30 to 40 degrees. So if it is 125 outside it will be 85 to 95 inside. In other words, the AC will be running at maximum anyway.
As much as I dislike our present administration and have never had high regard for the brass, in this they are right. You’re much better off acclimating to your environment than attempting to hide from it. I’ve spent enough time in the jungle and desert to know that running into air conditioning doesn’t help.
Sorry but 77 or even higher isn’t a hardship
Livin the dream since 05!
Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Iraq, South Sudan, Afghanistan!
But it's a dry heat, except for Sudan...
Well, we have to cut costs somewhere. How else are we going to pay for Tesla subsidies, Mooch’s lobster dinners, and plastic fish for the IRS?
Our troops deserve better treatment, period. That being said, we have never had air conditioning (west Michigan). When it does get hot I live a siesta style life. Get up early and work outside in the garden, siesta in the hot afternoon and then work again in the evening. We never open our downstairs windows and have a dehumidifier down there when we need it so when it’s 82 upstairs closed up (90 outside), it’s 72 downstairs. All I am doing is living. Our troops our defending our country and this news is just the latest that pisses me off.
We manage the natural convection breezes by opening/closing windows on the sunny/shady side of the house and upstairs/downstairs.
