Is most often referred to as an aircraft carrier attempting to catch a fireball, most often a jet pilot that is been incapacitated in aerial combat… The deck is secured and fire suppression has been activated as the carrier turns into the wind, in an operation that for lack of a better word, is considered suicidal. It's the most dangerous of any maneuver in navel operations as they attempt to catch for all intensive purposes is a flying bomb… To save the life of the pilot all is placed at risk, the life of the men, Captain, even the ship itself. In the best of conditions, landing on a carrier is exceptionally difficult, when maneuvering one the largest ships on the planet in rough seas to successfully land a plane that had lost controls, on fire, and is severely damaged is next to impossible. But that is what we ask of our navel operations that is “no man left behind” as they throw themselves into harms way.
The fact of the matter is in political terms, President Trump will be coming in like a fireball. In one of the most distant leads ever polled as far as his opposition is concerned. In what maybe literally explained as a landing excuted in a hail of bullets. Why has it so difficult if not impossible? The opposition has had 30 yrs to prepare for any such event and never had the stakes been higher. The Democrats have thrown EVERYTHING as have the ESTABLISHMENT Republicans, to stop, impede, or cripple by hook or by crook, the Trump Campaign… But still “We the people of these United States of America” with unswerving faith in the Almighty turn to face the wind.
Situation is critical, chances our pilot will be unresponsive, wounded, already traumatized by events still flying directly into the storm. Gone are those often called “The Greatest Generation” as many have known bloody war up close and personal marching through the swamp and leech-infested waters in the heat of the jungles of Vietnam. Most have forgotten the lesson and tragedy of Charlie Company. The Boomers that remain are few but all remember who still have half a brain, and eyes tho maybe blind see much further than most. The College indoctrinated such as education can barely do simple math in their heads. 4th and 31 yards… Figure the odds.
The oldest of the Old Guard, those who remain, such as they are, will stand alone… Knowing no one lives forever.
Holy run on sentence Batman.
