air force has carried out its own air strikes. america bombs isis, iran bombs isis. same target, iran's air force, united states air force. so are -- it's complicated. the united states military now finds itself in the awkward position of fighting on the same side as iran and syria's assad regime. obama administration officials say they are not actively coordinating with iran on air strikes, which is maybe to say like the presidential candidates don't actively, you know, talk with their super pack maybe? not everybody in washington agrees iran's involvement is a very good thing. secretary of state john kerry says that any iranian military action against isis who be positive. >> nothing has changed in our fundamental policy of not coordinating our military activity or other activities at this moment with iranians. we're not doing that. and we are not -- not only not coordinating militarily right now but there are no plans at this time to coordinate militarily. i think it's self-evident that if iran is taking on isil in some particular place, and it's confined to taking on isil and it has an impact it's going to be a net ef

next, air force academy about thetalks relationship between spanish and native in new mexico during the 17th century. united states air force academy. having said that, let's get to today's lesson, we will talk about the colonization of new stephanie? >> [indiscernible] nevertheless, spain's grasp on the frontier colony remained tenuous at best, due to strife between the secular and religious authorities within the hispanic community. the success of the pueblo revolt in 1680 represented the sole example of indigenous peoples completely eliminating an established european colony in north america. the key factors in the pueblos' unprecedented accomplishment and subsequent 12 year liberation where their successful coalition building efforts, as well as the geographic and demographic realities of the 16th century landscape. >> ok. i am glad i did not have to write that paper. here is the outline. here we have a little bit about the pueblo indians at this point. we're going to talk about the conquistador, francisco date coronado. we're going to talk about some of the intermediary entradas that are going to occur after

he raised his hand, took the oath, joined the united states air force. this past 4th of july he put on his uniform, he raised his hand again and he took another oath to become a citizen of the united states. the 4th of july he says is my new american birthday. and today airman first class nelson rieu is an engineering apprentice here on base helping to keep his fellow airmen say. and a 24 years old he dreams of someday joining the special forces. and he says freedom is the reason why i am in this country and why i want to be part of those who sustain that freedom. it's a great feeling to note here the backbone of the greatest nation on earth. so you think about that. got folks whose dads were born on base and you served going back generations. but then you've got new americans with that same patriotism, that same sense of what we are about as americans, that same creed that we can all pledge allegiance to regardless of what we look like or where we come from. we are fighting on the same team, for the same values and the same ideals. so thank you for your

pentagon is always right about what is recommends and congress is always wrong, it was the united states air force that was opposed to drones. pilotless airplanes. that was a congressional idea. actually an earearmark, a phrase we're no longer allowed to use evidently. if we want to go back in history -- not the pentagon because it didn't exist, but the defense department, or the war department it was called pre-world war ii w aircraft carriers. that was actually a congressional initiative against, quote, battleship admirals. so again, i don't disparage our friends in the pentagon and their professional expertise. but occasionally congress is right on some really big decisions. to my friend's point about the abrams tank -- and this is one we have wrestled with on the defense appropriations committee, and i know they've wrestled with in a bipartisan way. there's only one tank line left in the united states that actually produces tanks. and the real question is, if you don't need them this year -- and sustained by foreign sales. we're not the only people that buy. mostly -- so if you cut it back, do
