I had to go on base yesterday for some admin. It looks dumpy. A 120 year old base with historical buildings. But overgrown neglected landscaping. Huge piles of dirt with grass and weeds growing out.
People are wearing old nasty t shirts.
Active duty are wearing pants dragging on the floor. The uniform is totally different from anything I’ve seen in 40 years. Someone decided to waste an enormous amount of money to change the uniform. For no good reason.
I saw a second lieutenant a woman way overweight wearing a wrinkled uniform she was wearing braided pigtails way down past her shoulders. She looked like an idiot. It’s hard enough to get respect as a 2 lt who wants to listen to anything she has to say.
People are moping. I saw no one smiling.
Biden just sent $750 million to ukraine.
He is not working for Tge US.
Officials just announced today that Biden is sending 3 billion more on their Independence Day (today.)
Fortunately, later reports indicated that none of the weaponry was coming out of U.S. armory (guess we know why now they don’t have any...:-) Instead it is going to be by “procurement” for medium and long term defense. Which means after the long procurement process is done the MIC will have to produce the weapons so it could be many months or even years before that happens.
I visit only one base these days, Fairchild, and it seems fairly sharp along with the personnel. During the open house / air show it was particularly well trimmed and tidy. So I guess your base might not be representative.
Is that a USAF base or an Army base?
US Army vet wants to know.
Brandon isn’t working - the Obama holdovers are. And its for the WEF.
