I’d hate to be on the crew of one of these missions, and know that the CiC won’t do anything more than have an underling deliver a statement to the media if you end up dead as a result of this kind of thing.

unsafe and unprofessional...wow, that will really get the Russians attention...they’ll draft a response right after the entire chain of command and the pilot quit doing vodka shots out of Moldovan strippers navels.

If you don’t stop this, we’ll write you a letter telling you how angry we are!

Last article on this I read said 20 feet. Now it is 15? What next, 7 feet?

But then, this was CNN, not known for honesty.
