The reference to "POGO" is very apropos here. To quote from the Walt Kelly "Pogo" comic strip, "We have met the enemy, and they are us." :icon_rage

We already have the silver bullet, with it's own private bedroom, shower, etc. Why the f**k do we need this crap?

....is it just me or does "Comfort Capsules" bring to mind the Japanese use of "Comfort Women" in WWII?

Amazingly, I actually find myself in agreement with Murtha on this

Isn't this the sort of thing that generals should be fired over? Talk about a public embarassment.

I don't know how many more firings the AF can take right now. But maybe now people will see how certain other branches (read: USMC) could make better use of that money.

If they're still doing stuff like this they need a few more firings.

Fair enough.

I want to go on the record as saying:
I knew nothing about this.
I don't know any of these Flag Officers.
I've never even been allowed to fly large transport aircraft.

... but ya gotta admit that blue seat belts are a sweeeeet touch.
