Going out on the Jeremiah Obrien to watch the air show. I always wonder if my dad worked on this ship. He was a machinist at the Kaiser Richmond yards. One of only two unaltered Liberty ships. Hope it was a blast! Was a beautiful day on the bay. Little wind, sunny. The kids on the boat had a blast running the bow ack-ack gun. Good show by the fliers. F35 flyby. Unfortunately we are building F35 type planes instead of a modern A10 with ground pounding guns for soft targets. I'm with you on the A-10s. They put on a demo for us with live ammunition on the Ft. Sill (Artillery Center) firing range when I was in school there. Unreal airplane. I think it is a huge mistake getting rid of the A-10 as long as we plan on waging the stupid wars like Afghanistan and Iraq/Syria. This is the premier ground support system ... ever. I do wonder how the peace loving democrats are going to deal with ANOTHER president escalating a war when they get rid of Trump. Will we have demonstrations? The chants write themselves. "Hey Hey you Kamela, why the **** did you kill my fella? "Glory glory look at Corey, how many kids did you bring home gory"? The strange thing is as soon as a democrat got in the white house last time, Code Pink went to sleep, in spite of doubling down in Afghanistan, so maybe they aren't the peace loving tribe they used to be. They are just partisan hacks. |
