To whom are these Qatari Air Force men loyal?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s announcement that the U.S. will host a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at Idaho’s Mountain Home Air Force Base is igniting backlash from MAGA figures. Trump loyalists like Laura Loomer called the move a betrayal of “America First,” while Steve Bannon declared, “There should never be a military base of a foreign power on the sacred soil of America.” The facility will host Qatari F-15s and pilots, deepening U.S.-Qatar military ties just as the administration faces scrutiny for recent Qatari gifts and regional diplomacy on Israel-Hamas.

EDIT: Whether or not it actually is "A foreign air force base", MAGA certainly thinks it is, and what profit is there in dissuading them of that notion? It's a War folks.

Where George Washington would disagree with Pete Hegseth about fitness for command and what makes a warrior https://theconversation.com/where-george-washington-would-disagree-with-pete-hegseth-about-fitness-for-command-and-what-makes-a-warrior-266530

Washington’s ideal military leader was more statesman than warrior. He believed that military power must be exercised under moral constraint, within the bounds of public accountability, and always with an eye to preserving liberty rather than winning personal glory.
