I do _greatly_ appreciate the efforts of our #Vermont representatives and congress people in opposing the use of #VTANG for these missions.

3/3

I _do not_ enjoy having the #Vermont #VTANG #F35A flights directly overhead every day. They are _very_ loud and disruptive (I work from home.)

I _especially_ do not like hearing cheers of "Freedom!" from some fellow #Vermonters when they're flying. Today is a strong reminder of _why_ I don't agree with that sentiment!

I also do not envy the guard members and their duty to follow orders that they may not agree with. (We'll never know what the numbers are there.) 2/N
