Back from a trip to China with SecDef Mattis. Our AF E-4B crew did an AR near Hokkaido and let me sit in. 3 tankers from Okinawa. Aerial refueling is one strategic capability that makes America a superpower. Awesome air crews
The last PLA hosted dinner I attended was in 1999 with then-Defense Secretary Bill Cohen and Xiong Guangkai, PLA intel chief. Cohen told Xiong of me: “This guy has access to more intelligence than anyone I know.” I was not flattered.
