That appears to be the British in WWII (based on the Browning HP
pistol) but don't let details get in the way of a good joke.

I made a similar observation myself. Are they really saying a Marine
service helicopter can't fly in the rain?
OTOH maybe it is just that they are not as particular about GIs.

I did hear some speculation that there may have been a threat.


I suspect the minimum flight standards are different for carrying the
POTUS than they are for flying in a combat situation.

That said, there have been plenty of combat flights grounded due
to weather as well.
