I mean, if we’re here debating what the plan is and we’re confused, imagine our adversaries!Makes sense, Schwarzkopf was a genuinely nice guy but not a great strategist. I certainly wouldn’t give Trump high marks on character but maybe one could consider his strategy “drunk monkey” style.
Additional clarity? The career FSO types that remain at State must be pulling their hair out in frustration. (How would Ambassador Kate Wyler handle all this?)

I believe one of those destroyed this…Good post about Growler involvement in this operation . . .
What…I can’t stress this enough…the fuck.When you think of all the things that could’ve gone wrong…
I’m kind of bummed that I’m no longer in the know.

THU?THU flies UH-60 and Bell 429 helicopters now; their then-fleet of Bell 412 and Bell 407 aircraft were fully divested several years ago. Fun story: other LEO organizations fly several of their old 407s and at least one 412 made its way north of the border to be used by a logging company. THU really seem to like their new birds and I can say (having seen them fly in person day and night) that they are some of the best UH-60 pilots in the world, especially around the ship. Absolute professionals and very nice folks.
