Thank you for your service!
Now I think all these instances you describe were dealt with approximately 28 years ago and later, in one way or another, including your AFB in Libya a country NOT member of NATO???
So if that argument is/was a part of your “LEGAL”(???) operation, then we need to go back and bomb the hell out of Germany & Italy TODAY!!!
I certainly question the legality of the operation.
But, we were tasked with the mission and got it done.
The administration was tasked with ensuring Libya would be a peaceful place following the operation.
We know how that turned out.
