Would it not be so much more sensible to allow the military to decide on military matters amd keep the crooked politician/lawyers out of the trough?

No! We need our local pig-fat pork, don't we?

Sorry if I trod on liberal toes here with that statement, but the purpose of the military is NOT to provide welfare.

The original plan was flawed. They had wanted to take the A-10s and F-16s from Eielson. In addition, they were going to pull F-15s out of Elmendorf. This would have left only one squadron of F-15s to protect all of Alaska.

Dooood
check your meds - then look at a map.

The balloon goes up in Korea, China, anywhere on the Rim, where does all the logistics air transport get fuel?

Why - the big gas station -- Eielson, and Elmendorf as well.

If it makes you feel better, they did close one of the biggest fish camps around - Galena AB. So not a total miss for you - port fat wise.

FWIW, HAARP is more about pork then science, so, perhaps, there is a good target for your ire.


Have fun
