Props for the Queensryche reference.
This was a problem in 2005? After 3 years of war? Were they beating the crews on a daily basis? By that point some ODAs were on their 2rd or 3rd deployment where people actually shot at them and these guys were fed up after three YEARS?
I'd be ashamed.

It's the air force. Sitting stateside in an air conditioned building is hard work.
It's not like we have an entire Corps in the Army dedicated to the concept of not trusting the USAF to land their own aircraft.

Is it just me or is this the dumbest fucking thing ever printed? Again, using Hillary's private classified server as precedence, there are clear rules for USG-affiliates and the rest of America.
When did accountability become a special superpower???

Oh yeah. That's for real alright. We've been warned not to get on any site with leaked classified info.

Same here but the definition in itself makes ZERO sense. TS is defined as unauthorized disclosure could cause exceptionally grave damage but disclosure doesn't automatically declassify the info.
Executive Order 13526- Classified National Security Information
Once a disclosure occurs and damage is presumed, what is gained by continuing to assert that the material is classified? Additionally, why in hell would clearance holders, who have already display/garnered a higher level of trust than John Q, be restricted from reading a publication that is available to John Q, who has ZERO trust?
I suspect the real purpose is to prosecute the leaker...unless your affiliated with Clintons then you get keys to the White House.

Report on Disclosures to the Media is Classified

I hope that prick has a car accident.
"Compromised" doesn't mean "declassified," and "clearance" doesn't equate to "need to know." That's why.

Yes, I understand USC 18. Practically, if the info is compromised and accessible to the GenPop, what is the purpose of holding ONLY clearance holders to a standard that doesn't apply? I'm all for informing clearance holders about the need NOT to comment publicly about classified matters but to threaten them if they read open source info? What does the USG gain by that?
Isn't it illegal to publish (e.g. distribute) classified material without authorization? Wonder why US news outlets aren't held to that standard?
How the Fuck does someone get PTS from playing a video game?
Haven't you heard the party line? "It is not a video game, it is nothing like a video game."
I still think that drone op should be a lat-move/service transfer/prior service only duty position, with modified physical standards. I know that plenty of people who can't do their normal jobs would be fully capable of doing this, if they wanted to stay in.

I have no issues doing what I do. Every night after I land, I Skype my kids, joke around with the guys, and then as soon as my head hits that pillow, it's lights out.
The fact that I get to smell that cordite as I watch the sparks of a 105MM hitting the ground, or that I get to see the flames shoot out of the plane as we unleash a 12 second burst of 25MM just makes my job even better.
Maybe this guy needs to meet some of the guys he supports. Not that there was ever any uneasiness about what I do, but the first time I visited one of the JTACs and handed the brass that killed the asshole that shot him, to him rather than his family, that removed any issues that could ever potentially pop up.
