“we’re practicing for uh……expeditious runway use for the war in the pacific”
“why though? You need seaborne operations, not highways. There aren’t any 2-lanes out there in the island chains”
“uh……we need to practice distributed R&R using marine corps assets”
“…..you’re just practicing for operations knowing your runways will be mortared to shit huh? You’re training to put down domestic insurrections”
“no hahaha it’s just uh….for the chinase?”
Clipping from your grandchildren’s history books:
“Pictured: 2047 USAF personnel striking targets in the newfound confederation of states including Texas, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Units were pushed back from existing USAF infrastructure in the first month of hostilities, and soon took to a distributed network of ad-hoc highways in friendly california territories.
3 weeks after this picture was taken, only 1 “crewperson” (in the parlance of the time, given the intramural conditions of their armed forces) had survived the following assassinations that resulted from their names being included in the DoD media database.
How did this tactic accelerate the fall of the old union? Name 3 military actions that made it harder to achieve peace before the spring of 2048.“
