ISF Carries Out 1,000 Missions Alone >>> Though only a few of these missions are serious raids, it's important to recognize that the ISF has organized itself to run the lower-level operations just as well. It can be easy to just focus on kicking down doors and shooting/arresting people, but patrolling the local street and running traffic checkpoints is just as important. This is an excellent example of the logistical capability achieved by the ISF.

DEFENSE & TECHNOLOGY

F-22 Deploys to Utah >>> We'll see how it goes from here. The F-22 is such a nice plane but, as I've stated before, it is extremely impractical in our current military situation. When we go to war with another military superpower it will perform wonderfully, but not until then. Here's hoping we never have to use the thing....
