You are the one that doesn't understand the concept of law and order, or citizenship. I'm not a big fan of birthright citizenship not based on at least one of the parents being a citizen but its the law in both the US and Canada, it's even in the US constitution. Laws aren't a convenience to be ignored if they get in the way of your agenda, unless you live in a dictatorship.

Well if you lived the better part of 5 years under the Nazi's, you might have at least some amount of gratitude toward the people who died trying to liberate you. The Dutch sure haven't forgotten and make sure they pass it on to their children. This question is a good example of how we don't do the same.

Which is/are the greatest threat to the U.S.?
Aristides replied to Deluge's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Right now Americans themselves are the greatest threat to the US. Declaring virtual war on each other and their allies. Wouldn't be the first time an empire was destroyed from within. -

They are low time, low cycles and always hangared when they are in Washington. The don't sit out except when the President is visiting somewhere. They lead a pampered life compared to just about any civil aircraft. They went into service one year earlier than Trump's personal B757 which did see airline service before he bought it.

Ya, it's a pain that the new ones are so late but there is nothing wrong with the existing aircraft that makes this any sense. It's not like they are falling apart, they don't average 16 hrs a day in the air like the average long range airliner. They are probably the lowest time B747-200's in the world.

As a former airline pilot I know just how dumb this is. Beside the cost of converting another aircraft, they will either have maintain one more than they need or mothball one of them. The extra costs won’t end with the conversion. You guys are so drunk on the Kool Aid that you can’t accept something so simple.
