    If they want any balloons shot down without blowing it up into a million pieces, where they can't find most of it. All they need to do is maneuver it over a TGT shoot and we'll shoot it down for them. It might have a few (hundred) holes in it and be in a hundred pieces, but it'll be on several acres and easy to locate the pieces.

    Yeah … that worked out real well for the car …

    Also, a U2 pilots took a selfie with the balloon and sent it in. It may have been how we first got knowledge of the balloon and it’s location.
    “One pilot took a selfie in the cockpit that shows both the pilot and the surveillance balloon itself, these officials said -- an image that has already gained legendary status in both NORAD and the Pentagon.”

    Guess he don’t have to GTFO

    Note the shadow of the U-2 on the balloon. That's a big freakin' envelope. Closeups from this selfie (since the AF hasn't released anything hi-res yet) show what appears to be four propellers on it - which would allow it to maneuver to some extent or hold its position against the prevailing wind.

    Most, if not all, of current senior military leadership was appointed by Obozo. The Pentagon is definitely one huge toilet needing a big flush.

    To be accurate, the military members of the various departments run the FO/GO promotion boards and their results are presented to the Senate for confirmation.

    The Senate can choose not to confirm a list or not or can hold up an individual confirmation if certain processes are followed.

    The President reserves the right to nominate eligible GFOs to the Chief of Staff/CNO roles and Combatant Command commanders. One of my most respected mentors is the currently serving CSAF. Our wives participated in PWOC and our kids were in Scouts and and school athletics overseas.

    Where rot occurs is in civilian oversight; just ask Ron Fogleman. The current Undersecretary of the Air Force (#2 civ) is representative of such.

    CQ Brown can want a World Class Air Force all he wants, but Ms OJ has more influence on policy and execution than he does.

    Different day, same ****.



    How much property is plundered from American taxpayers for "defense"?

    In return they get wide open borders and crap like this.

    Central state is a ******* joke.
