I remember the 1990s from an Inside the Military perspective. The Clinton years were full of ridiculous ideas and preposterous claims. In fact, I do remember setting in a briefing on this very subject. I was in a auditorium full of fighter pilots, AWACS crews, and tactical air lifters. Many of these individuals had engineering and scientific degrees. As I recall, the briefing was interrupted by raucous laughter on more than one occasion. This is because there were so many fantastic claims coming out of the Clinton Administration. Not a one of them were ever backed up with substance. The Clintons were too busy squandering The Peace Dividend to fund any major weapons development. Well, that and I imaging the cigars took up a lot of their time.
Just the idea that we would think of this is shameful. We have to effect weather because we will be at war forever. Maybe take those resources and use them to prevent war? Noble concept.
And yet, there are people out there who still argue for government controlled/single payer healthcare. When I hear it, I just say, have you paid any attention to how the VA is handled?! And you want THAT?

Every man's dream - to be God.
But then he wakes up.
Well if they 'knew what they were doing' with the weather, like they 'knew what they were doing' with covid, we are in trouble.
Every day I discover new aspects of what yesterday were fiction are discovered to be truly incompetence.
And yet, there are people out there who still argue for government controlled/single payer healthcare. When I hear it, I just say, have you paid any attention to how the VA is handled?! And you want THAT?
Preach it.
I've been saying that for years, and yet, people can't see, can't hear, can't think, and trust their government.
I live in a major military town, and our nearest VA is 2 hours away!
We must have voted the wrong people into office.
Oh, maybe because we want less government, not more!
