Mcgeehee, I also am confused why an American ace would lose his P38.

It is important to note the differences between 21st Century slang, German firearms, and WW2 Fighter Pilots…
However, the aircraft was shot down while another fellow was flying it, so we can’t blame Mary Jane.

“If you’re a US Veteran, I can tell what branch of the military you were in based on how you understand the phrase secure the building.
If you were a Marine you think it means to hit the building with mortar and machine gun fire.
If you were in the Army you think it means to go from room to room clearing them of enemy combatants, then surround the building with defensive fortifications, tanks and concertina wire.
If you were in the Navy it means to turn out all the lights and lock the door.
If you were in the Air Force it means to take out a five year lease with an option to buy.
The Coast Guard then gets it from the Navy after they’re done with it, paints it white with an orange racing stripe and continues to use it for 40 years past its life expectancy.”

Dad’s plane almost crashed in the jungle too.
But he flew this thing back.
(he said he watched while they cheered after hitting the plane and he wasn’t going to bail out…he didn’t think he’d make it back to the base, but he did, all before I was around)

In 2016 the DOD began to allow concealed carry at military installations.
Around the time of the George Floyd riots, they rescinded this.
With dozens of penetration operations by Foreign Nationals at US bases over the last few weeks some clear thinking person (if there are any left in military leadership) needs to bring this back.
A month of celebrating Women and Minorites in Marine Engineering might have averted this 320 million dollar disaster.
I have had faith that weakness in American military leadership could be somewhat offset by advanced technology and dummy-proof programs.
Not so sure now.

Secretary of State Blinken announced Ukraine will protect freedom and democracy by suspending elections until “all Ukranians can vote”.
Can’t they do that now?
Oh, I see. ALL Ukranians. You mean the ones living in Russian held territory.
Ah… so we can have elections in Ukraine as soon as Russia gives Crimea back.
Sometimes you have to destroy a villiage to save it, sometimes the covid death would have been worse if they were unvaccinated, and sometimes you have to create an unelected dictatorship to preserve Freedom & Democracy.
Bonus: He was very clear the territory had to be returned and a ceasefire was not enough.
You kinda get the feeling that if people buy into this insanity, they would really, really like to test this legal theory in America.

President Biden’s CHIPS Act …
… Uncle Xi has created Big Fund III, a $47.5 billion investment in chip production …
… meanwhile President Yoon pushes for a Korea-China-Japan FTA.
Yoon called for revitalizing regional trade and investment between South Korea, Japan and China “based on mutual respect and trust,” stressing that “corporate investment is a safety net for the relationship between the three countries.”
He called on the three governments to work together to “create a predictable and trustworthy business environment for foreign investors,” adding that if businesspeople of Korea, Japan and China “join forces, our three countries will become leading players in the world.”
Yoon proposed using the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a mega free trade pact that the three countries are party to, as a plan for three-way economic cooperation.
Korea, Japan and China called for resuming negotiations on a trilateral FTA, which have been suspended since 2019.
The three countries’ business lobby groups agreed to form a trilateral economic consultative body to promote economic cooperation and resolve pending issues amid growing business uncertainties, the KCCI said in a statement.
They further agreed to cooperate in the areas of digital transformation, revitalization of trade and supply chain stabilization for the growth of the three countries. They also urged joint efforts to tackle issues such as a green transition, responding to aging societies and providing medical care for sustainable development.

“meanwhile President Yoon pushes for a Korea-China-Japan FTA.”
So when does the color revolution start?
Last time, we had the president jailed over something that never really made sense, and replaced by a cryptocommunist hopping to the bidding of his globalist masters.
Exhibit A would be how he shut down small business, such as resturaunts and coffee shops, which greatly benefitted the multinationals, such as Starbucks and McDonald’s, which quickly had an advertizing and delivery infrastructure in place.
Further, while small business with a few customers had to close at 9pm, big business, such as E-Mart was open and filled with people until 11pm.
The independent middle class took a big hit and they have not yet recovered.
Does President Yoon need to be careful?
World leaders who turn their backs on America, and its Western-centric globalist efforts, get a knife.

So when does the color revolution start?
It starts right around January of next year when the new US administration takes over and starts its own color revolution. SK and Japan do not trust China, but there’s no choice but to work with each other, when the US will treat the three countries as the same enemy with no difference. Didn’t your big man promise a flat 60% tariff on all imports from all countries?
Looks like they found Dick Bong’s P-38
