CDR SALAMANDER: We Need to Talk About RAF Fairford and the B-1B FLAPEX: How many wakeup calls will we get? “It is as if no one really did a good Red Hat from a force protection point of view and assumed we’d be as safe ‘over there’ as we are ‘here.’ Complacent, comfortable, and … well … its England … how much safer can it be? That is an assumption best left to the past. FY2027’s Jolly Old England is not your grandfather’s Jolly Old England.”

We’re not as safe here as we think, either.
