Congress Loves The A-10 Warthog, But Considered Replacing It With The P-51 Mustang

Joseph Trevithick at The National Interest - 9 minutes ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *Security, * The P-51 never stood a chance. *Key point: *On this debate, the Air Force defended the A-10. The U.S. Air Force has a complicated relationship with its low- and slow-flying A-10 Warthog attack jet. And that’s putting it mildly. The flying branch has tried more than once to retire the ungainly A-10 in favor of speedier planes, only for lawmakers to block the move. But on at least one occasion, the Air Force actually defended the heavily-armored, gun-armed Warthog from an unlikely challenger—a modern version of the World War II P-51 Mustang that Co... more »

How Turkey Ruined Its Own Air Force (Nothing to Do with the F-35)

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 9 minutes ago
*Michael Peck* *Politics, Middle East* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/4591275/f-35-takeoffs-and-landings] One word: purges. *Key Point:* You can't fly fighter jets if you have no pilots. Fighter pilots aren't cheap. The U.S. Air Force estimates that training a new pilot to fly a plane like the F-35 costs $11 million. And that doesn't count the priceless experience of a veteran pilot who has been flying for years. That's why the U.S. Air Force is willing to offer half-million-dollar bonuses to retain experienced fighter pilots. So a nation that throws its fighter pilots i... more »

Political Norms Are Not Universal

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
The libertarian view is that political norms are universal and can be justified independent of cultural differences. But this is not correct. The terms “liberty,” “democracy,” “justice,” and “rights,” are political concepts, and their actualization and justification is contingent on the culture of a political community (nation). In order to figure just what liberty, democracy, justice, and rights look like in a given society, we must become acquainted with the local culture. This means that political norms cannot be universal; they have to be contextual—or developed in relation to a... more »
