When people ask me for examples of how the Air Force takes better care of its people

That Amazon cup wouldn't fry the wiring in my house but it will fry the wiring on a jet that costs more than all the houses in my neighborhood?

Is your house full of 50,000 gallons of jet fuel flying at 27,000 feet with a very carefully designed electrical system? The same electrical system running the fuel pumps to feed the engines with fuel that keep us from crashing? Didn't think so.

That heating cup you buy off the internet is dirty as fuck, when it comes to electricity. The jet does not like that, especially not when its drawing 1,000 watts of electricity. The highest current draw device we're allowed to plug into the jet is a laptop charger, 15-20 watts max, 50 times less than what the electric kettle would draw.

The hot cup on the jet is a part of an entire system designed to work with the power on the jet and not going to kill us.

Is the KC-10 one of the tankers the military uses to re-fuel Saudi jets being used to bomb Yemen and create the world's worst humanitarian crisis?

What the fuck does that have to do with this? You stupid fucking fuck. Get the fuck out with that bullshit that has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.
