This is why America is the freest, greatest nation in the world. I cannot imagine English pederasts or Australian pussies or Canadian squealers allowing such things in their countries.

Can a Freeper military expert please explain this: “…replicating aerial threats from potential enemy nations“. At what distance do aerial engagements take place these days? 50km or more? What is the benefit of using this man’s F-18s as OPFOR?

Well Jared’s gonna be busy with NASA and all that, so maybe it’s the right time...

This is exactly what the Deep State criminal class is worried about…Trump will hire this private Air Force to take out the trash.

Just kidding…sort of.
