    The Elites don't fear the tall nails, government possesses both the will and the means to crush those folks. What the Elites do fear (or should fear) are the quiet men and women, with low profiles, hard hearts, long memories, and detailed target folders for action as they choose.

    Crazy that we are so unprepared to deal with situations. Why would our combat airplanes not be armed? Sounds about as stupid as unarmed personnel on an army base being sitting ducks to an active shooter.

    Most tactical aircraft are not sitting ready for a combat mission. Especially prior to 9/11. Prepping live AAM's for a flight with no purpose but training is likely a pain in the ass.

    But there are plenty sitting on deck now with AA armament ready to go, as a direct result.
