I've already talked to 2 former F-18 pilots who said they're voting Yes because "The MEC would not have endorsed it if if was not a good deal.", I'm not sure if I got through how badly this thing sucked and how you could not trust anyone, you had to read it for yourself and between the lines. The also believed that it would only be for 2 years, they had no clue about what an Amendable Date was, or that this 2 year deal could be for the next 10.


This is NOT military bashing, this is just pointing out the people who have never been through this, and need to be educated.
