Interesting to read the different perspectives re Occupy. The responses to Feminist's article are to be expected but it was rather brave to put up an opinion that wasn't just another cheering squad. I'm pro one minute and not so much the next. I do have serious concerns about the anarchist elements, however - and they're pretty glaring.
Science fiction? No, it's the Air Force.
Not your usual comment here but army types, both active and retired like me, sometimes feel the fly boys and girls must think they can walk on water. About every twenty years or some Air Force desk jockey comes up with a report claiming the Air Force can do everything the other services do including the navy.
It always revolves around the concept of air power and delievery of massive amounts of bombs and or missiles. Of course when they pull some out of the box stunt their pilot usually gets shot down with the wreckage of some multi-million dollar plane loaded up for scientists in Russia and now China to inspect.
Bunch of blued suited weenies.
LP: Obviously it's early yet to tell where this will go, if anywhere. I just would hate to see the energy and enthusiasm that should go into the election campaign get sidetracked into something that won't achieve anything due to lack of a clear program.
BB: I don't have enough knowledge to take sides among the military services. I didn't get the feeling you're describing from those videos, though.
