I’m sorry, I don’t buy the DOD huffing and puffing. I spent some time with DOD, both active duty and DOD civilian. Like 40 years over three wars. You didn’t just walk on to the military flight, even a charter, going into a war zone without somebody knowing about it. If these 2 Congressmen did, it tells me one of two things happened.
1. The situation is completely out of control; or
2. Somebody let the Congressmen on the flight so they could document the chaos before the catastrophe.
Neither of those is good, and both are extremely serious. I’m not sure which is worse.
Thought the article said they flew commercial and then on a flight of an allied nation.
