The US Navy is making a big deal of the fact that French Rafales and Navy Super Hornets operated from each others carriers recently.
Simple question. To what purpose? Can you imagine that a French carrier involved in combat operations are going to embark a US Navy Fighter Squadron? How about a US carrier embarking a French Squadron?
Its a freaking show.
But the Navy aren't the only ones involved in silly publicity stunts made to impress the uninformed.
Take the Army and Marine Corps doing "partnership" missions.
I cringe at the thought of how many future enemies are being taught US tactics by our people. Have you wondered how the bad guys in Iraq, Afghanistan (even Hezbollah against Israel) are able to pull off more and more complex attacks against our forces? I'd wager that it has to do with us teaching them how its done.
I'm not impressed.
