Just a Thought: The Standing Down of The Air Force

Tomorrow, the United States Air Force Air Combat Command will stand down all 100,000 active duty airmen in light of the nuclear warhead fiasco in Minot, ND.

The U.S., However, will not be unprotected. It will still have combat aircraft at the ready, mostly National Guard units.

This decision to stand down raises some serious issues and questions. One, why stand down all active duty personnel, and two, why in the world would you publicize it?

It's bad enough we have our media giving war plans out like free meal tickets. Now, we have our own military advertising to the whole world we are only going to be at 25 to 50 percent capacity for an entire 24 hour period.

No wonder we're not winning the war on terror.
