"fair"? Todd, I was being 95% facetious. Relax.

There's still a lot of work to be done. Creating the new "Victory Over Chinese Balloon" medals and ribbons. Painting a "balloon" decal on the fuselage of all those planes that were involved in the mission. Planning and scheduling the White House award ceremony for the pilots.
I wonder if the pilots and ground crews got combat pay.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 02-04-2023).]

Well, I do think rolling out an F-22 Raptor with an Aim9 was a bit of overkill. An ol F15 or F-18 could done the deed..

The chinese "Government" is condemning the shoot-down- threatening repercussions....How about some repercussions for sending a spy-balloon over the US....?
