They didn't inhale either.

Stupid foreign deployments are why the children of all politicians should perform mandatory military service as enlisted men and women as a requierment for office.

It might be a little harder to get involved in other peoples problems when it's your kids at risk.

While Glenn Curtis made many advances in aviation, it's also true that he didn't have much use for patents and royalty payment. Or methodical development. He ignored the careful work the Wright Bros. did in developing a stable aircraft, and the first ones he built didn't work. When he copied the Wright designs, he got sued (and lost). But he made it back. And he ultimately joined forces, helping found the Cutiss Wright engine company; until the jet age began after WWII, C-W and Pratt & Whitney were the dominant engine companies.

This administrations contempt for the constitution, is no greater than many to come before it. The most egregious violators being Lincoln and FDR.

Truely the s***** of the earth.
