I thought we lived in a post 9/11 world. And in a post 9/11 world I wouldn’t think we’d want to be training Moslems to fly aircraft. I would have thought that such a thing would be a major security violation.
Flight training has been suspended for more than 300 Saudi Arabian students at three bases in Florida in the wake of the deadly shooting by a Saudi Air Force officer on Friday, the U.S. Navy said Tuesday.
Navy Commander Clay Doss said classroom training is going to start again this week, and flight training for other students will resume. But the Navy on Monday evening ordered that Saudi students at three bases in northern Florida be restricted from flying for an undetermined period of time.
The flight restriction affects 140 students at Pensacola Naval Air Station, where the shooting occurred, and 35 at nearby Whiting Field. Another 128 students at Naval Air Station Mayport, on the Atlantic seaboard, are also restricted.
The most important aspect of this story is not that they grounded these 300 Saudis, it is that they were being trained to fly aircraft in the first place.
Does anybody not see how straight up stupid and retarded this is? 15 of 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis and they were funded by Saudi intelligence.
Yet here we are training these desert dwellers to fly military aircraft and one of them decided to do a mass shooting. It also appears as if he was part of some type of terror cell.
This is like the most fucked up and stupid thing imaginable.
