Trains are not a viable competitor for travel in the US. Think of the popular destination points: Miami, NYC, Chicago, LA, and what used to be Vegas. Most people who vacation there, live 1000 miles or more away from those destinations. Taking a three-four day train trip on a 7-14 day long vacation eats up too much time in just travel.The billions of dollars that went to the airline industry that should have failed and reworked itself long ago seem like some down-payment now... I guess it did a bit before too.
Maybe AirGulag will inspire someone to finally slap Amtrak into shape, and make the cross country highspeed rail that should have been installed long ago. Probably not though.
Hey! Me say Hey NO!
https://dailycaller.com/2021/08/25/pentagon-spox-troops-covid-vaccine/Pentagon press secretary Admiral John Kirby suggested Wednesday that troops objecting to mandatory coronavirus vaccines might require counseling.
Kirby said during a press briefing that there would be exceptions to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s vaccine mandate across all branches of the Armed Forces, but that anyone who objected for reasons outside very specific parameters would be subject to counseling from both medical professionals and their chain of command.
Kirby began by noting that, since the Pfizer vaccine had gotten full approval from the FDA (a bait & switch,), the military was moving ahead with the vaccination process.Read This Before Getting a Covid Vaccine - Encyclopedia Dramatica Forums

“The commanders have a wide range of tools available to them to help their teammates make the right decision for themselves, for their families, and for their units,” Kirby added, saying that he fully expected commanders would use every tool available to ensure that as many troops as possible received the vaccine.
“If the service member goes through the counseling, doesn’t have a religious objection and still objects and refuses to get the vaccine,” a reporter pressed, asking whether Commanders would invoke the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to discipline those who continued to object.
“Commanders have a lot of tools available to them short of using the UCMJ,” Kirby replied. “We’re going to trust that the commanders will make the right decision going forward.”
“So they’ll get like an NJP?” the reporter asked, referencing “non-judicial punishment” — which is used in the military to “discipline service members for minor offenses such as reporting late for duty, petty theft, destroying government property, sleeping on watch, providing false information, and disobeying standing orders.”
“I can’t give you an exact answer to every hypothetical situation,” Kirby responded. “There are — it is — once you mandate it, as we’ve done, it is a lawful order. It’s a lawful order, and we fully anticipate that our troops are going to follow lawful orders,” he concluded.
i read about that shit yesterday, havana syndrome is kinda cool.
But there needs to be serious repercussions for the a-holes who consistently lied to the public about the reality in that sh*t hole. I’m talking about the generals, politicians, state department slugs, and anyone else who enriched themselves with taxpayer dollars or used the war to get themselves well-paid jobs with various corporate entities.Osama is dead America did its mission if eurofags keep bitching they can build their own blue water navy Trump came into office complaining that Nato countries didnt even put in the 2% GDP into their military thats been requirement of the alliance since the 50's but after the cold war became just a suggestion, all Bidens done is just post pone the inevitable afghans layed down there arms and gave them to the taliban tha majority of that country wants to return to the 6th century let them

Biden is an absolute piece of sh*t. His entire admin is filled with nothing but liars and crooks. They’re all cowards and utterly incompetent.And this just happened
Afghanistan explosions: 13 US service members killed in Kabul airport blast, more wounded, officials say
A suicide bomb attack Thursday outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul's airport in Afghanistan killed 13 U.S. service members and injured at least 18 more, U.S. officials said – making it the deadliest day for U.S. troops in 10 years.www.foxnews.com
https://bigleaguepolitics.com/break...fghan-allies-that-needed-to-get-into-airport/The Biden administration gave the Taliban a list of the names of United States citizens, green card holders, and other Afghan allies that they wanted to be let through the airport for evacuation — a decision that sparked outrage from officials and critics.
“The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was thought to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country,” Politico reported. “But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.”
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who POLITICO said spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean.”
Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and subsequent issues following it including the death of at least a dozen Americans has caused many to lose faith in his abilities, with his approval ratings dipping to historic lows.
Lol boomer caring about a puppet president making meaningless statementBiden is an absolute piece of sh*t. His entire admin is filled with nothing but liars and crooks. They’re all cowards and utterly incompetent.
”More than five hours after the attack, President Biden had still not issued a statement about the attack.“
Nah, anyone with a brain understands that pure b.s. is what emanates from the Biden admin. It’s the incredible cowardice that‘s so telling. Anything negative happens and what do they do? They start turtling, hiding, won’t take questions, won’t take responsibility for their incompetent decisions.Lol boomer caring about a puppet president making meaningless statement
What questions exactly are you expecting him to takeNah, anyone with a brain understands that pure b.s. is what emanates from the Biden admin. It’s the incredible cowardice that‘s so telling.

How about...What questions exactly are you expecting him to take
Allow?- Why did you allow the Taliban to enter Kabul before evacuations were completed?
- Why did you allow the safety of everyone to be put in the hands of the Taliban?
- Why are you allowing the Taliban to dictate the terms of the evacuation?
