$ spent on flying USAF planes
« on: October 02, 2009, 12:51:04 PM »
Ever get tired of hearing the news people tell us how much money is wasted on flying people around in government planes. Of course you all know that the USAF fly's every plane every day that they can get off the ground. $$$ Now that includes the presidents planes. So a far as I care they might as well be flying someone some where...

Thanks Chief David for catching and sharing that. Great idea but I don't agree with the press/media blabbering too much with the details on how it's done.

   I don't think they care one way or another what we think.  We are the masses.  The masses of people whom they see as--"inferior"!! And, they believe we cannot think for ourselves!  So they tell us what is right ,and, what is wrong.  What we should think and what we should think about.  Now Oprah is telling people what to read :roll: :!: [-o&lt; [-o&lt; [-o&lt; [-o&lt; [-o&lt;

That war/service cost data is available to any who are interested.  Just the masses don't go searching for information.
Check out Air Force Association www.afa.org Air Force Magazine.  Also their 'daily report' shows number of missions broken down to sortie types.
The USAF site has more info on unmanned aircraft roles in the future. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123160247
Maybe our adversaries will consider that what's bombing them is not manned and put more fear in opposing us.  Publicity that the pilot of that plane is sitting in Fargo and not threatened by them.

   The enemy can tune into the Military channel and hear about every weapon we have.  And then we sell our weapons to people I would not trust with a squirt gun.
