The F35s being based in South Burlington was due to Patrick Leahy's pushing this move despite objections from the military. All the politicians up and down the ranks lined up like sheep to be in step with Leahy and his strong arm tactics. According to the Nuclear Arms Terms of Engagement, if a bomb is dropped in another county they will strike back by bombing the base where the jets departed from. Just imagine a nuke dropped in South Burlington. Can't happen here you think. But it doesn't take much imagination to look back on the 45th president and see that with out General Kelly stopping him, 45 intended to bomb North Korea and say another county did it. And this unhinged twice impeached, twice indicted, sexual predator and malignant narcissist is the leading contender for the Republican nomination. It would be better for the VT Guard to have a mission that is more consistent with VT values. Like humanitarian missions that help heal the world. Not a mission that is consistent with the Patriarchal Glorification of War!

Are those in elected office taking bribes from those that manufacture these planes?
