I remember similar opinions in the 80s when people would bring up Reagan's "Star Wars"/SDI.

It's projection... it's ALMOST ALWAYS projection.
I mean, for example, look at preachers who are public homophobes getting caught with gay porn on their computers. It's like that, but over more areas.

Additionally in-air refueling needs a tanker from somewhere.
That reminds me: my Dad's manager flew KC-135s for the Air National Guard, and a day before the Libyan bombing with F-111s he mysteriously had to take the day off work.

@cstross@wandering.shop I'm serious. If you're only associating him with folks who claimed he turned them on to Ayn Rand, he did grow up (unlike said folks).
