When they had hit the tankers, the AF F-4s hooked up with a flight of KC-10s, ...

Well done, but..1944?

Either in civilian life as a Deputy U.S. Marshal, or a special operator wearing the uniform, Sisco is not to be trifled with.

U.S.S. Ranger (CV-61) at Pearl Harbor after operations during the Second Kamchatka Raid, 1988:

Whoo-hoo! Great chapter, and BZ, my friend. Always glad to help out, and so to business: The Swiss have to be looking the other way with this deal.. Not that anyone's complaining as yet. Spetsnatz going after CENTAG's field HQ, and probably hoping to get Actual. With the only U.S. Army M-60s in Euro...

The one squadron with Hornets deployed to the Pacific NW with the ANZAC force.

They still had enough at the end to keep sinking ships in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Admiral Chernavin (Commander, Soviet Navy and Gorshkov's successor) got what he wanted from Marshal Akhromayev when the latter became Defense Minister: more resources allocated to submarine and surface-ship cons...

To the Gulf States, it matters. Soviet combat forces in Iraq shows (to them) that the Soviets are supporting Saddam, despite his faults.
