re: Head of US base in Greenland, Colonel Susan Meyers, sacked after criticising JD Vance

It's in the oath she and every military member took.
This shite is deeply seeded in our services after 8 years of Obama, 4 years of Biden and the 4 Trump years that didn't change much.
It needs to be rooted out and these folks need to made an example of otherwise it just empowers others to speak up and defy the POTUS.
I hope the individual services have changed their service chief guidance to boards and panels by now so these officers arent promoted or selected for leadership positions.
She is an embarrassment to the impartiality our armed forces are supposed to display
Signed, recently retired O-4

This is just a troll, right? You can't be that dense

re: Your Trump report card after ~2 months:

11,000 apprehended. Biden's numbers have to be taken with a grain of salt as I'm sure CBP was told to turn a blind eye. Apprehensions should stay up.
Under Biden people wanted to be apprenhended so they could get the benies. Under Trump they'll get deported. We want the apprenhensions to stay up in my opinion.
People will still try to come across under Trump. We can't stop that unless Mexico does.

And you think the Biden admin is any better? How would you feel if it was one of your kids left on the ground during Biden's pull out in Afghanistan?

This is why the rhetoric from the left is dangerous.
re: Why all of the sudden.. nothing is good enough for MAGA?
Posted by IceTea20 on 3/7/25 at 8:45 pm
All great points. The right has a few unhinged people that are just as bad as the left. They'd rather see the whole thing burn down and get a few arrests than the core of the MAGA agenda to...ya know....make America great again.

I didn't feel this way a week ago but the way they've all come out with these displays of "solidarity" with Ukraine is concerning.
I'd recommend we maybe keep a naval base somewhere. Italy seems like they want to stay out of it. They don't really love us but don't hate us either. May be a good place.

That's a sale not aid. Israel's money flowed into the US for that.

It's too bad this wasn't "leaked" beforehand to control the narrative. It all makes sense after watching this and knowing he pulled similar stunts even with the previous admin.

Sorry to hear. Keep your head up and eyes open. I'm sure a better opportunity will come along.
re: Coast Guard having issues
Posted by IceTea20 on 7/19/24 at 9:11 pm
The Rescue 21 system they use to locate and communicate with mariners in distress uses a series of radio towers and complex software. These towers and repeaters are all digital. I suspect the local Stations and Sector offices do have individual VHF capability which will be line of sight to that individual unit/tower but it won't be meshed together so SAR mission controllers will have a much tougher time coordinating the response.

Currents are strong in the area. Depending on how long it takes for enough assets to get on site (which most other countries don't have a lot of) the search area will expand quickly if they cannot saturate his last known position.

Great summary. I didn't get to watch any of it this weekend. Can you speak to our fielding? You mention it left a lot to be desired. Thanks!
