Nice - swiping that.
The NWO / Globalist / liberal / Uniparty forces at loose in the country.
That is where I stopped reading. At least he didn’t say gods will. Don’t you love atheists always preaching.
I believe I’m going to borrow most of this quote from Bannon’s speech for my new tagline. Nobody ever knew what my current one meant anyway.
Trump is the perfect prestidigitator. He has the media concentrate on one hand, the banal, while on the other he is pulling off myriad tricks that most politicians can only applaud (albeit silently).
Using the Thach Weave to destroy the enemy
Thach developed a fighter combat tactic known as the Thach Weave. This tactic enabled American fighter aircraft to hold their own against the more maneuverable Mitsubishi A6M Zero, the primary Imperial Japanese Navy fighter.
Lieutenant Commander Thach and VF-3 flew from USS Lexington in the early part of World War II, and was assigned to USS Yorktown during the Battle of Midway in June 1942.
On the morning of June 4, 1942, Thach led a six-plane sortie from VF-3, escorting twelve Douglas TBD Devastators of VT-3 led by Lieutenant Commander Lance Massey from Yorktown, when they discovered the main Japanese carrier fleet. They were immediately attacked by 15 to 20 Japanese fighters. Thach decided to use his namesake maneuver, marking its first combat usage. Although outnumbered and outmaneuvered, Thach managed to shoot down three Zeros and a wingman accounted for another, at the cost of one Grumman F4F Wildcat.
After Midway, Thach was assigned to instruct other pilots in combat tactics. The U.S. Navy pulled its best combat pilots out of action to train newer pilots, while the Japanese kept their best pilots in combat.
