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.


Why would anyone want to threaten Trump? Seriously, what is the problem
with the POTUS-mobile?

There are always people who would like to take a shot at an American
president. They don't even use the armored car in the US if there is a
place to land a helicopter. Andrews is a 15-20 minute car ride from
the White House and a pretty straight shot down Suitland Parkway but
they always take the helicopters. They also always have a fleet. Even
here in SW Florida they take at least 3 identical helicopters and
overseas it can be 5, just to make it harder to figure out which one
to shoot down.
