It's a brave new world. I am not sure why the Iraqi AF students aren't being sent to the states to learn to fly. I' don't know where they are gonna find 70 bodies to send to Iraq and Afghanistan to accomplish this mission with all of the AF heavy drivers getting out via Voluntary Separation Pay and all of the fighter folk running for the exit!
