he retard we be surprised by the Percentage of refueling tankers ran by the guard and reserve versus the Active Duty.
I probably would be and I am not going to run to wiki to look it up, doing other stuff tonight. But I am still wondering why it isn't more active duty doing it. It almost seems like something that was meant to be a "break glass in case of emergency" thing has become a "use at will, as you wish". To me that seems odd, but maybe there are reasons (more experienced people in the guard perhaps?). I dunno.

The unit they were assigned to is an Expeditionary Sustainment Command. There's only 9 in the entire Army and just 3 of them are Active Duty.
Thanks for the info.
You are wrong. I am a big supporter of this and I wasn't trying to start anything. I have a nephew starting college the academic year after this one and he is learning about all this stuff and I promised I would pass on anything I learn about this, because this is new to me too. He wants to do NG to help him pay for school but I was probably right in telling him that you never know with the military and this verifies it. I wasn't "trying to start" anything.

What on earth is wrong with you? I don't even know who you are and you go all nuclear. I was asking precisely so I could learn something that until now I did not know and you go crazy. Jeez whiz dude take it easy. I was not aware they were so active, I thought it involved a lot less active duty than it does. Thanks for the info, no need to call me names.
But I though Guard and Reserve was only for emergencies, not some kind of regular postings? On their webpages it says you will in the Guard MAYBE be called up, but what you should expect is once or twice a month muster, maybe a week in the summer - not six months in Korea or someplace.
But if needed, okay, but......where are the regular troops? Why aren't they being used? I don't get it.

re: Four members of Army Reserve identified as those killed in action during Epic Fury

Why is Army Reserve involved at this state of the war? Isn't it supposed to be like....reserve....like, will pitch in if needed if regular tropps get depleted, etc. Not making light of their deaths, but why were they there. Why wasn't regular army there?
Prayers to the soldiers and families affected.

Reminder that Spain has been run by decades by a party literally called “The Socialist Workers Party”
Not true, they have flip and flopped with the conservative "Peoples Party" for decades. PP was in power as recently as 2019.
Aren't people like Tucker Carlson saying the same thing? MTG? Massie?

I go to Jordan every few years to swim in the dead sea and get salt and mud treatments at the spa's. It's great if you have Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatitis, many other things. Also greatly reduced arthritis. People arrive in wheelchairs and in two weeks are on the dance floor. I have seen it happen.
Just days before the United States launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
As a result, Patel hamstrung the Washington, DC-based FBI counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which handles cases ranging from mishandling of classified documents to tracking foreign spies operating on US soil.
The dismissals have added to concern inside the Justice Department and FBI that counterterrorism and intelligence investigations in the wake of the military operation in Iran could be hampered by a mass exodus of national security experts, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
And like the CI-12 unit, several senior officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in Trump-related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the Justice Department and FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.

I'm talking executing a search warrant in the middle of the day on any of the shows like Law and Order or NCIS. Yeah if you are breaking into a warehouse in secret to see if the bad guys are there that is one thing, but it is often that they break down a door to look for, say, some missing girl and find her in the basement or something. Why would't they turn on the lights?
Also so many actors are mumblers now. I have excellent hearing (I got checked three weeks ago, 99 percent of perfection) but so often I don't understand what they are saying, oftimes because the sound is overly compressed in post production.
And finally could more cops dress like cops? It is not a ladies fashion show and the guys should all be in suits unless the job requires other clothes like a doctors smock.

When cops on tv go to search some apartment or warehouse they never turn on the lights.ANnoying as heck imo.

Sometimes you do stuff because it is the right thing to do.
In another thread someone wrote -
"I do have a problem with his assertion that killing people for any reason is morally wrong but watching people get killed instead of stopping them is morally good."
We are doing the right thing.

See above, I dont think this is a political story but more human interest/novelty occurance.

I just thought it was more of a human interest story than a political story, nothing more than that.
At first I thought you wrote "Golden Girls". :yack:
