  • The congress must address this if they proceed with the Trump impeachment. They got a problem!!! 

    The definition of the United States is the Constitution. There is no other definition. The Constitution cannot be segmented. It must be applied in its whole. Suspending one part of the Constitution is suspending the entire Constitution.

    • Congress will definitely address the Articles of Impeachment filed by this novice Representative... they will address it to the dead file in some committee where it will never see daylight.  That is what happens to bills, acts articles, referendum that do not have the Speaker's approval... they end up addressed... to some committee where they die.

    • and did you think of the SPREAD of CV-19, while these men are just sitting around and not having the basic necessaties!  This is an outrage and misuse of our

      troops....Unacceptable!  WHO ordered this anyway? No One has said WHO ordered all these troops into one area, and WHY?

    • The incubation period for COVID is 14days... how long have these troops be deployed...  Oops, since the 19th... hardly 14 days.  We can not be certain where any infection in the troops began.  However, it is of great concern and one more reason to end their deployment post haste.

      Are you always so trigger happy and prone to go off half-cocked... it is likely those troops testing positive were infected elsewhere and are just now testing positive.  I would suspect that they would have been tested at their home stations before deploying as part of the pre-deployment medical check up... that normally accompanies mobilization... and those infected would have been denied deployment... you are such a twit.

    • The virus tests require anti-bodies to be formed... that takes 15 days for those tests I have researched... and yes, the person may transmit the virus without testing positive... having been exposed.  Quarantined for 14 days after exposure is standard because it can be transmitted... and it is after mere exposure, not a positive test... one who tests positive is quarantined until they no longer test positive.

    • Maybe the Chinese Virus will "RECALL" most of the criminals in congress for us!!! Poetic justice for their tyranny.

       

    • The costs associated with the B-52  included all maint and upgrades... and it is magnitudes less expensive than the B-2 contractor's delight.  The A-10 would have been replaced had the contractors and Brass in the Airforce not faced an absolute mutiny if they got rid of this excellent close air support and tank killer platform...  Other early designs and contracted weapons systems like the AH-1 are dollar for dollar better buys than their modern weapons platforms and much less expensive.  However, the system for developing and managing contracts has taken out much of the early on ...upfront... oversight of field commanders and replaced their experience and knowledge with pencil-pushing bureaucrats who do not know the difference between a FEBA and Ameba.

    • Twit means a foolish person... Wanting to Impeach Biden for failing to order Porta Potties or for apparent support problems of our deployed troops is not just FOOLISH it is ridiculous.  Twit is a fitting description of a person who constantly comes up with such nonsense... As my mother would say... if the shoe fits wear it.

    • Requisitioning for new or replacement items has been going on since the revolutionary war... but never so screwed up as in the last 30 or so years... when hammers and coffee pots were purchased for 1500 or more dollars... a single B-2 Bomber costs more than all of the B-52 fleet since its inception in the late '50s... how does that stack up?  It was my experience that when the military performed most of its contracting programs directly... costs for everything were much lower and supply quality better... the use of DOD Civilians as contract specialist simply introduced one more layer of bureaucracy into the system and isolated direct supervision of the users/command from the process.... resulting in massive overruns on nearly everything purchased under a civilian managed contract.  The B-2 program just being one of many such military-industrial boondoggles.

    • Read what  I posted ... there was no acquisition corps when I was commissioned in the mid-'60s... Do the math that is if you can... Next, the President of the USA is not even remotely accountable for the details of logistical and admin support... he can issue mobilization orders, and with them the authorization to fund and support the troops...that is the extent of his duty.  He is negligent if he fails to fund or authorize expenditures for a mobilization.  The actual details on providing that support is a chain of command responsibility...

      Stick to your desk and contracting for those 1500 hammers... you are not competent to discuss other issues and certainly not military doctrine and logistical support requirements for the field...
