For a low daytime flyover, the answer is almost always a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. Very occasionally it’s a sporting event, but usually it’s the missing man formation for a funeral.

Or - here’s an idea - could actually be refunded to taxpayers.


You want to give everyone in America $0.00008 back?


Not everyone. TAXPAYERS . You know, the people who supply the slush fund for wasteful spending in the first place. .

What a delicate and fragile creature you must be.

Do you realize how you sound to people with actual PTSD from fighting and killing terrorists on the other side of the world on your behalf?

Hardly (and I was downtown the entire day on Sept. 11, until I went to the Capitol that evening). It was a quick overflight. Obviously nothing else was going on, or you’d have gotten a news alert or an emergency bulletin about it.

WTF are you talking about? China has by far the world’s largest military, with 2 million active personnel in 2019.

+1. How do people think training for our national defense works?


But remember - this DC. These are the smartest people in the room. They went to Ivies. They have MBA’s. They’re in the know. They have the facts. They’re on the right side of every issue and argument. They’re better informed and more literate than you will ever be. This is DCUM.


And if they don't support whatever conflict the US is backing, they are on their way to Canada.


Yep. Loyal and patriotic Americans……..As long as the right president is (s)elected and we back the correct wars.



(Oh, and Larlo is too talented for the military. Let red state trash do the fighting)
