Comfort Capsules? I thought that was a hooker in a sleeping bag.

I thought the military already offered suicide pills?

i wonder how well one would fit up the stretched anus of one of these jerks.

Things like this don't really help the Air Force's reputation of being the least tough of all the branches.

/or maybe the people I talk to are just biased?

It's cute that Congress thinks that will make a difference to an Air Force 3 star.

Generals retiring to spend more time with families in 3... 2...

From my understanding, the Air Force Special Forces are the toughest SOB's around.

/heard it from an ex-SEAL

As if the military ever listened to Congress. New ass cushion seats coming right up.

As a military member in the USAF I am outraged at this frivolous spending, all the bull shiat about force shaping and they do this crap?! No wonder the AF is called the "Chair Force."

Can they be dropped like empty fuel tanks durring emergencies?

Sorry general I forgot you were in there.

Did Air Force divert terror funds to buy posh seats?

Better than spending them on Posh Spice.

That's because they can kick the crap out of you AND mind-fark you at the same time.

This is exactly why I'm planning on joining the air force if getting a decent paid private sector job falls through...

Ever notice when we make "war" on an idea we lose?

War on poverty
War on drugs
War on Terrorism

That's not the way it works. A congressman (Murtha) cannot direct the Pentagon to do anything. Murtha will just have to go back to falsely accusing soldiers of war crimes.

and they can go fly those fancy capsules into a building in Dubai for all I care.

Actually, yes. Liberty Mutual needs TONS. Starting pay in the low 40s.

Weapons of Ass Destruction?

looks like the real terror is generals sitting in regular seats

Military: Can we spend all this money?
Congress: No
Military: Too late! We alredy spent it.
Congress: Well don't do it again
Military: Too late!

Maybe. I've got no idea. But that's not the perception, and this little gem won't help that perception at ALL.

Ahhh, the Light Blue Service is at it again...

I remember a conference for Pacific Fleet one time where a huge bunch of flag officers were flying into NAS North Island. CINCPAC at the time had a P-3 to ferry him around, but the Air Force contingent arrived in a fleet of five Gulfstream III jets.

I'm not sure, but I think the Army guys showed up in one of those busses like they had in "Major League". Really showed who was spending money where.

I've watched while over a million in fuel alone was wasted just so the captain could impress his friends.

This is not a surprise.

No, it's because they shoot you, then work feverishly to save your life.

You might want to rephrase that

Yeah but who listens to, or even takes Congress seriously, anyways? They'll just fold in the end.

Oversight? Hahahahaha. George Walker Bush has made Congress (whether Democrat or Republican) his b14tch.

When I was in the Air Force, we had a deployment exercise where we were sent to a FOB and had to play act for a couple of weeks. The cadre in charge put us in temper tents, and while talking to one of them, he said that downrange, the Army puts 16 people in one temper tent; the Marines put 14; and the Air Force put 10. Oh, and the Air Force's temper tents were air conditioned with cable hook-ups....

*pats subby on head*

Awwwww you're cute, thinking the Pentagon listens to Congress. Do some research on the Pentagon's "Total Information Awareness (TIA) Program". It was a program to spy on Americans. Illegal. Congress told them to end that program so the Pentagon said "sure" and then continued the program, just changing the name to the "Terrorism Information Awareness Program". Congress found out (not thru their efforts but the media's) and said "OK, now we're cutting your funds". And the Pentagon was like "Awwwww we so bad. Sowwy." Guess what? The program STILL exists. But the Pentagon said "We won't use it on Americans. Honest. You can trust us THIS TIME". Yeah right.

Yet, somehow, it's the flyover states' fault that our anti-terrorism task forces are hemorrhaging money.

/boggle

Had a buddy who had been Air Force and he told me the same thing about AF search and rescue people--the ones who train how to travel across 500 miles of desert to rescue a downed pilot, and rappel down into burning nuculur missile silos to pull out the casualties.

/I was impressed.

...and who says we're not winning the War on Terror?

Well, at least they didn't have to hot-bunk like the guys in the 688Is I worked with. You get your own private drawer even!

I used to spend a lot of time at PhibBase in San Diego and I don't recall seeing any of the SEALS training in airconditioned tents, neither with the ForceRecon guys in Pendleton

So calling the USAF PJs the toughest is a little subjective...

Agreed. I tried watching after he left but found it to be virtually unwatchable. And it's not like SG-1 was high art before that.

\MacGyver is my homeboy.

If we could find a capacitor and inverter large enough, we could probably power the country just by hooking them up to Eisenhower's grave.

Congress is telling the Military how not to waste money. Thats rich!

In the military RHIP can be taken to the extremes.

RHIP= Rank has its privileges.

docilej: ...and who says we're not winning the War on Terror?

Everyone with one percent or more of a brain.

I'd explain it to you, but you're way too focking dumb to understand.

Can they do a pallet drop with them?

In defense of the Air Force, they were only told twice they couldn't do this. If the government was serious about it, they should have set up a committee at the Pentagon level with oversight in to both the Air Force and navy (Navy has cargo planes too). This committee would travel from Wash DC to various military installations (OKAY just Hickam AFB in the winter) to ensure all members of the requisite military is aware that they cannot misuse military funds for comfort capsules.

The committee would produce a PowerPoint presentation, a web based training and a DVD extolling to virtues of not wasting the G'ment's money. All personnel would have to watch one of the above and sign a document stating that they saw said PP, DVD or web cbt. This document would be copied three times and stored with the personnel's file, security officer and for personal record.

Then the Air Force would announce they plan on building several Privacy Pods. Please start back at the top of this post.

For christ's sake. They're the MILITARY. They get 600 BILLION dollars a year before they ask for war money. What do you THINK they do with that?

Wait, I thought liberals "hated the war, not the troops."TM Or something like that.

I could give a fark about the troops. They signed up for death, who's surprised when they get it? What kind of moron thinks they're "serving their country" when they're at the whim of a leader elected by less than 25% of the population?

Well, leading my troops I could see how you may want
