They’re saying “military personnel” were on the flight.
What they’re not saying is that the military personnel are escorting people they kidnapped to Gitmo which holds 30,000 so they’ll be a lot of secret flights.
An old friend use to work as a flight attendant for a charter airline years ago. They regularly worked flights carrying military personnel. It’s actually fairly common.
This isn’t a new practice. I don’t know when it started, but it’s been the norm since at least the 60s, when chartered flights took GIs home from Vietnam. Cheaper and more flexible than maintaining a gigantic airlift component for every possible contingency.
This has nothing to do with declaring war. The peacetime military is constantly flying people all over the world, from base to base, for exercises, to move supplies, etc. It makes no financial sense to maintain a vast fleet of dedicated aircraft for *every last movement* of personnel or stuff. 1/2
It’s the same with land transport. There’s no need to use military trucks to move, say, fuel or toilet paper from a warehouse to a military base; hiring a normal trucking company works just as well. 2/2
I have to say being a Gitmo Uber is pretty on brand for Robert Kraft and the Pat organization which had prominant Trumpist Tom Brady and Bill Belichick who's now enjoying his golden years with a woman old enough to his granddaughter. Fuck the Pats, come at me Boston.
Yet again, why I no longer watch/support NFL/American football in general - the underlying "plantation-like" culture perpetuated by the racist NFL ownership
Amazon Co-Owns Deportation Airline Implicated in Alleged Torture of Immigrants.
Activists are pressuring Amazon to divest from Omni Air International, a company at the center of ICE's deportation machine whose parent company previously helped transport CIA prisoners to black sites to be tortured.
This is a choice by Robert Kraft and the Patriots. It’s was a choice by Saquon Barkley to go golfing with Trump. We can choose to legitimize the horrific actions of this administration or we can choose to be on the right side of history. They were intentional, none of this was a mistake.
Regardless of the actual reason, this is the worst of bad looks for a franchise well known for bad looks. Should help @joshkraft.bsky.social in his Boston mayoral bid
The multiple cheating scandals, the multiple personal sex scandals, the willful drafting of criminals, and now he’s helping illegally kidnap people for no reason other than racism.
If the Shield had a single ounce of balls he’d be out.

According to the flimsy tattered paper called the constitution, Congress holds the sole authority to declare war.
They haven’t declared war.
So why act like we’re at war with every country on earth?
3.4 million people were deployed to Southeast Asia for Vietnam war.

No s*** dumbass... Are you a s**** trafficked Asian teenager?
He was lying to you moron....
Yeah, like they’re going to admit it if there were detainees on board.

Obviously the team named The Patriots is going to help spearhead the human trafficking ring that ends our democracy.

I’ll be surprised if soon there isn’t a minimum quota for white dudes on rosters “because DEI” or some shit.
