Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Are we being fire attacked tonight?

It just seems to me that if we can afford a Space Force, we should be able to afford a fire force. Instead of moving all the military planes out of harms way, why can’t we retrofit some of them with water and fire retardant dropping capability? We are paying for those aircraft and pilots anyway just sitting there. Why not? I can’t imagine the frustration of being a fire fighter out there on the line in those temperatures with nothing but a shovel or a hoe facing that kind of extensive fire in those rugged conditions.
