Is no one disappointed?

I'm humbled and amazed by those courageous soldiers at Kabul airport. They are putting their own lives at risk from violent medieval mofos in order to save other people's lives. Most of us never do anything remotely that brave, or significant.

Don't forget the retired, or at least not directly in US Armed Forces service anymore, who are doing the REALLY dangerous stuff, simply because it's the right thing to do. :patriot: https://forums.macresource.com/read.php?2,2664447

I purchased a 10" Ruger pistol upper yesterday from a Boeing employee. He is headed to Qatar next week for a 56 day straight rotation to support C-17 maintenance. The Air Force has been putting SERIOUS hours on those airframes under essentially combat conditions. Corckscrew takeoffs and landings, with chaff and flares to hopefully defeat any SAMs or RPGs. I think one is on the way from the Malaysian Air Force to help out.
This last part has made me so nervous just thinking about it over the last weeks. It probably wouldn't take much given the chaotic situation. Ugh.
