If the flying Moon pig is the only thing between us and the erstwhile Soviet union, we were screwed anyway.

That’s a toughie. I’m old enough to remember the C5A boondoggle, a 747 sized cargo plane whose only advantage was the ability to open the front end to empty it’s cargo. Came in handy during the 1973 Yom Kipper war but that’s about it. The ‘whistleblower’ named Fitzgerald was transferred to a base in Thailand managing bowling alleys.

Something’s going on.

---- "...we were screwed anyway."

$36.5 trillion in national debt, trillions more in consumer debt and student debt, trillions in state-level debt, county debt, municipal debt. alongside the delightful news from the USAID and Treasury scandals that the government has been spending on all sorts of fraudulent things. So, yeah.
