u.s. air force does not offer this service. the u.s. air force does not fly somewhere and destroyed 17 buildings. it consists to carry out its idea of an air campaign whereby you have to have a complete suppression of enemy air defenses so the u.s. pilots should fly more safely than the passengers of many third world airlines. that involves destroying countless numbers of ancient surface to air missiles whose wiring has been eaten by mice and a attacking 2000 targets when you want them to attack 17. so i would first of all say if it's the u.s. air force doing it through the planning mechanism it's not actually u.s. air force it's the air component of the for in effect it would start honolulu and then korea and so on. if those guys do what they usually do i would never go for it because it would be devastating the entire country in order to destroy 17 buildings. second point in regard to the chinese. one of the unfortunate things about my life is i actually don't like chinese food. lotve been going to china a and unfortunately i don't ass
