Always think for yourself...
Franklin Stone
Hello, my name is Franklin Stone and I am a Troll Extraordinaire. First I wish to thank We The People for putting me back in Congress, my promise is to report to Congress everyday; at least on those days when the eUSA Forums are not down or running as slow as molasses in Canada.
All of my rantings have one common theme: THINK FOR YOURSELF. Someone expressed the opinion that they would not compare a RL mate being abused as a comparison to the abuses of Congress, however I say that America is my Motherland and to abuse her is to abuse my mother; besides Congress reminds me of nothing more than my 9 year old grandson fighting with his 5 year old brother -but as always you are free to think for yourself.
I can not force anyone to listen to my rantings, but what I can do is take some facts that it seems no one disputes; and publish articles expressing my opinion. The fact that a leading American politician defected to the enemy, became politically active enough to lead a party; then twice became a Congress member and ended his foreign political career by advising them -the enemy- on their foreign policy.
This politician then returns to America where he refuses to even fill out the proper IES forms, then refuses to wait for the proper clearances to be obtained; instead having his citizenship ‘directly’ approved by the IES -at writing no ‘screenshot’ proof of said approval has been made available and as we all know without that 'screenshot' it never happened.
A lot of citizens feel I have a personal vendetta against this influential politician, this citizen who as part of a meta Congress influences every aspect of American Politics; from Congress to American Foreign Policy. In Congress he has helped to pass an Immigration Law aimed at curbing exactly what he did, a law which allows the removal of an automatic censure for breaking said laws; he even influences how we respond to foreign policy situations such as the one we face with Canada currently.
Now Americans have no way of knowing what the advice this influential politician gave this enemy party, any more than they know what advice he twice offered this enemy Congress; Americans will never know what Foreign Affair policies he advocated -but I would be willing to bet that at the FA level it was not pro American and it is that very fact, which in my eyes makes him untrustworthy; but as always you are free to think for yourself.
The government currently taxes it’s citizens at a 10% Rate across the board, which I feel is a pretty fair tax; however does anyone in game know where that tax revenue goes? Someone brought up one such destination, the Operation Retread Program -normally I would link the in game players to that discussion. However recently, on the forever down or tediously slow paid for eUSA Forums, things have a way of shifting around -sorta like on Ghost Whisper when the trunk slides across the floor on it’s own, considering that fact it would not surprise me to see things disappearing altogether.
What most American’s who do not play the meta game know is that the ORP was a program to allow the United States Armed Forces to populate their lower divisions (D1 & D2 mostly) with strong citizens -something admin had just recently done with their divisional shifts, to be accomplished by allowing certain citizens in the USAF to dump their current persona and start over; however it quickly became apparent how idiotic it would be to dump your current persona and start over. No matter Congress quickly voted to allot in the neighborhood of 300+ gold to the program, however what we got was the reorganization of the USAF; but as always you are free to think for yourself.
The announcement of this restructuring of America’s military came in the article ’[DoD]USAF Merger and Reorganization’, then a few days later the article ’Unhappy with the USAF Merger? Here are some options.' appeared; now I won’t debate the worthiness of ORP instead I will simply point out that every MU which the government recommends in that article is a non government funded Private Military Unit, I will also point out that after almost 30 days said merger is still not completed. Now many citizens are wondering if it ever will be, personally I am wonder where the gold went; but as always you are free to think for yourself.
Instead of funding a bloated and inefficient crop of MUs, why wasn't that 300+ gold spent helping those PMUs -units they are now recommending citizens move to- absorb the soldiers from those governmental units; do you think ego had anything to do with the MUs kept and those dumped? Again as always you are free to think for yourself, free to make your opinion known to your party; as you are also free to make your opinion known in the Public Congressional Proceedings forum -that is if it’s not down or running as slow as molasses in Canada.
Taking a look at the Military Unit Rankings it can be seen that almost all the Top 5 are Private Military Units with only The Special Forces of the USAF making the Top 5, with 300+ gold I would have expected much more and anyone with any common sense can see that spending 300+ gold on the USAF was a waste of time; hell they are recommending that if you're ‘Unhappy with the USAF Merger?’ then you can get out...you can go somewhere else...you can go to one of those independent PMUs.
Let me recommend the Private Military Unit to whom I owe my allegiance, the PMU that has built me into the 'pop gun' tank I am today; let me recommend moving to Easy Company, the best led and best supplied Private Military Unit in America. Easy Company's Officer and Quarter Master Corps are second to none and I owe both my eternal gratitude -but as always you are free to think for yourself.
Always remember: America
CURRAHEE!

The article from Oblige was him being butt hurt, not a government sponsored listing of private MUs.
I'm not going to bother arguing any of your other shenanigans because we have had the "USAF isn't hiding money somewhere or spending inefficiently" talk many times and you continue to ignore facts.
The he should have titled it, "I am butt and here's what you can do about it!'
Also, I never accused the USAF of hiding money, but now I have seen the report on ORP and in my opinion it is far worse than even I imagined. No wonder that report was kept secret.
The fact that you've seen the report means it isn't being hidden >.> Also, ORP isn't USAF. It's not even part of the DoD. If you have problem with ORP, direct it at ORP, not the USAF.
The fact that it is in 'Private Congress' makes it a secret. Believe the USAF was involved due to the fact that USAF soldiers were to be the base from which citizens were to be chosen.
The fact that neither the USAF nor the DoD are not involved, since we are talking about building soldiers; worries me. Congress can not even enforce their own rules fairly and yet you expect them to be able to track all that gold.
Congress approved ORP as a congressional program. It is not paid for by the DoD line item of the budget, it is not operated by any DoD personnel or USAF officer. It was set up as a pilot program for the USAF membership because the government at large has the most data available on USAF members, data which they do not have on PMU members.
The report being in private Congress has absolutely nothing to do with the USAF. If you disagree with congressional precedent, write an article about Congress. Do not, however, lump congressional spending with DoD budgeting as a sign of inefficiency. As a three time SECDEF and part of the new merged USAF leadership, I have an intimate knowledge of our efficiency and reporting of spending. I can tell you, as I always have, that our commune systems continue to save the tax payer money compared to other supply systems and all of the DoD's line item is being used for the defense of our nation.
Adding onto what DMJ said, SF is where all the soldiers are being moved. It makes sense that no other USAF MU is making the T5; They're all losing members, or for some, have been broken down completely.
From my experience with MU organization back in AF, I wouldn't worry too much about the speed of the merger right now. A CO can only have about 10 invites out at a time, everyone has to be put in a specific regiment, people need to log on to accept those invites if, perchance, they received one of the 10...etc.
You can override that limitation if you are friends with the citizen being invited.
Yes, I understand the limits, but USAF has been plagued with defections of it's officers throughout it's history: now apparently this merger is causing a rift.
"All of my rantings have one common theme: PFEIFFER."
Fixed it for accuracy.
Yet, not once has the fact that he conspired with the enemy been denied. One of the biggest reasons RGR was considered a traitor was he had held political offices in enemy countries. So once again, how is what Mr. Arundel did any different?
While I agree with your main premise of think for yourself, you dilute what you want to say with this visceral reaction to Pfeiffer. Maybe if you let it go, your point would get across much better.
I would pick someone else, but the problem is no other politician has defected and returned to cheering crowds....
I'll also add that multiple PMUs have been offered the chance to receive government funding at one point or another and none were interested jn the strings that come with government funding.
Also:
Always remember: America
I can only read that as meaning you are the most important thing?
dmj
I chuckled at this since you are not that FN ignorant....
I'm just checking to make sure you aren't being an idiot and are in fact being a tool.
Thank god, being in AMP MU & Party fall under the same entity, so America > MU/Party
...and which MU would that be?

Grampas rule!
I don't think you know the Difference Between the Less Than "" Sign...
Remember, In America/English we read Left to Right (don't they teach this in Infiltrating America 101 anymore?), so, "America
Actually says, "America Is less important than your MU, which is Less important than your Political party, all of which are less important than Yourself"
I think he did it on purpose. See my comment on that above and his reply.
He made it clear he was trolling in his first sentence. I was having a bit of fun.
Operation Retread was a congress thing as said, but more importantly was the brainchild of Molly Emma she felt strongly enough about it to resign as Speaker to run the program. This is as unrelated to Pfeiffer as can be achieved.
