Nonetheless, he didn't return to battle, but trained Vietnamese pilots at Clark Air Base, then came back to the US and trained Vietnamese pilots at Reece AFB (no longer an AFB) in Lubbock, TX.
Foreign aircraft and pilots have been here for decades.

Singapore, whose forces will be permanently stationed at Ebbing, is bringing the F-35B, the vertical takeoff-and-landing version of the jet also flown by the U.S. Marine Corps.

Several countries send their air forces to Mountain Home Air Force Base to train on the electronic air warfare range.
Singapore has a permanent squadron there.
This isn't a big deal.

Probably a deal with Qatar for help in the ME. The Switzerland of the area.
Exactly. Solidify allies that can put pressure on Iran and terrorists.

so Trump gave them an air base on US soil.
Don't be an idiot.
He's giving them hangar space on a US military installation. When I was stationed there pilots from Germany, Italy, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia and countless others came in to train.

So we are having them build their own facility to train their pilots on the aircraft we will sell them? If so, I’m ok with that as opposed to us paying for it.

I like it. We get paid for their use, if they get frisky we kick them out and we keep it.

That's what bribing Trump will get you.
Which is why they made the initial offer to the illegitimate Biden-Harris DOD, of course.

....and they didn't let a foreign government have a military base on US soil.
For many years, conservative talking heads have been scaring people by saying Obama will do this or Biden will do that.
Trump is actually doing all of those things.

I wonder how many folks who like this idea railed against Qatar dumping billions of dollars into our colleges and universities? There were a lot of upset folks on this board over that. Hell, we should just let the Qataris build this outfit at Texas A&M, they already own half that joint anyway.

That’s not at all what is happening. Seek help for your TDS.

It’s just a test field for their AF, it’s not exactly like giving China a port in CA.

If this mon-story has your thong in a knot, then I recommend you not dig further into "farmland" owner by the CCP.
Definitely don't research CCP police stations operating in the major cities ..

Funny how the people crying about Israel 24/7 have no issue with the Qataris owning both parties
