Where did the USAF build up for a major war, in no time, with no warning, no forward deployment, and no activity from Military Sealift Command?
Obvious bullshit is obvious.

Name the operation, the operation must have had a code word.
OEF? Nope.
OIF? Nope.
Desert Storm? Nope.
Desert Shield? Nope.
When was this supposed war and where did it happen?

Iraq. We bombed them from Florida, daily.
Yes, the Pacific is bigger. Probably just use a refuel, as they pass over Guam.

Operation Iraqi Freedom? Nonsense, all those strikes were conducted from forward operating bases in the Persian Gulf and carrier strike groups.
There's only one Air Combat Command base in Florida, Tyndall AFB, the 325th Fighter Wing, and two of the squadrons in that wing are training squadrons, the other is Florida ANG assigned to NORAD.

There was actually relatively large build up for Grenada, 7500 troops and Navy Amphibious Ready Group.
The United Nations General Assembly even had time to call a vote for a resolution condemning the United States for being in "flagrant violation of international law", 108 votes for, 9 against.

We blitzed Grenada with planes and won the war before ol Margaret Thatcher even knew it was on.
Read it on zerohedge, bro.

I remember it well, the whole thing was on the US news 24-7, like it was the invasion of Normandy or something, the Cubans were hardly taken by surprise. Was actually one of the first if not the first cable news wars.
