Aircraft must be considered expendable.
Civilian governments have trouble understanding "expendable".
The U.S. military builds temporary installations when that is allowed.
Defense has not been a successful military strategy since 1917.

Obamacare favorability at an all-time high in FOX News poll. Can’t wait for the closing ads from Republicans: “And if those Democrats try to take away your Obamacare, I’ll fight to protect it like I’ve always done.”7

Yes.
The democrats must win the Congress before Trump can be impeached and removed.  Pence will continue as president.
It will be necessary to pass things over his veto.

A cult of personality is being furthur prepared.
Personal loyalty is not desirable in the court system.
The courts first loyalty is to the Constitution as modified.
Originalism is error.

The Congress and the states have some fixing to do.
