You are, contrariwise, trying to make this an emotional argument, which is never productive. And I dont get the point. People and institutions need to get the job done, the daily wash, in spite of political churn and the defects of their leaders.
I have, for many years, maintained a very short haircut, in a vain attempt at masking progressive baldness. For a while in the 80s I was doing a Richard Chamberlain look - worked really well in fern bars -
I cannot figure out how on earth you can imply that the SAME BUNCH that not only has the US Southern Border WIDE OPEN but are literally FLYING IN Third World types by the millions...How can you try to imply that this bunch is capable of making military decisions that have anything at all to do with US National Interests.
Give it up, at least regarding the idea of scrapping planes in the middle of the LARGEST WAR since World War 2...that decision is literally UNDEFENDABLE, regardless of what you may think of Putin, or anyone else. For example, people on this site DID NOT go around trying to defend the IDIOCY of George W. Bush or Republican leaders in Congress when it came to the US Border...try it some time, if you cannot say something bad about this bunch of Overgrown Hippies running our military, then why you even here. Go back to Reddit or something.
