Gotta love the French........nothing like helping the Russians further oppress other countries of the former Soviet Union. I'm guessing they won't just be used for humanitarian purposes...................

Outstanding........good for the US Senate. This aircraft is taking too long to get into the US military inventory. Buying 32 is really the start - of the start - of buying these in large numbers.

This is a great article. Why? Because we have a true thinker at the Naval Academy.
Here's what I can't square yet.....regardless of the political party, the President of the United States is the Commander in Chief (CIC).
The constitution is clear that only the congress can declare war.
No question, the CIC has the authority to order military action. But is military action the same as going to war?

Looks like the Navy made the right call here, but restoring this officers good name.
Now, if the decision was wrong at the time, then it is right to restore this man to command of warship.
