Some Summer Vacation

Jules Crittenden reports on the scene:

...

Uh oh. Well, Day Three is pretty much a hostage crisis writeoff. The wife and the girls are forced to put on headscarves and housecoats. Naturally, the first thing the wife says is, “Does this make me look fat?” Well, yeah, honey, I think that’s the idea, but I’ll bet you even the most suicidal jihadi in a martyrdom belt knows better than to say that to any of his four wives, and I’m not about to. “No honey, you make the cutest little humiliated infidel hostage I’ve ever seen!” Meanwhile, I have to hang out with a bunch of mullahs with bad teeth. While President Ahmadinejad pats my scowling boy on the head, I have to shake hands and make small talk for the video cameras, you know, apologizing for western civilization and assorted crimes against humanity, complimenting the locals on their hospitality, etc. Yeah, it was embarrassing, and I’m think, boy, I’m really going to catch it at home for sucking up to these guys, though being on al-Jazeera again is kind of cool....

There is more. Dan Akroyd eat your heart out. This is way better than knocking over Stonehenge like dominoes.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
