  6. I live in Canada because Canada wouldn't make any good use of this piece of land. I'm glad USA bought this chunk of land . It's Canadas bodyguards. It brings comfort knowing we have both air forces this close together to protect from Russia. Russia has been invading northern Canada with nothing done about it.

  8. Alaska has a black pyramid, it's like another area 51 , it's off limits to the public considering it's on government property . People go missing venturing in that area.

    In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.[48:29]
    Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. Thou (O Muhammad) seest them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance. The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel – like as sown corn that sendeth forth its shoot and strengtheneth it and riseth firm upon its stalk, delighting the sowers – that He may enrage the disbelievers wiith (the sight of) them. Allah hath promised, unto such of them as believe and do good works, forgiveness and immense reward.

    [33:45]
    O Prophet! Lo! We have sent thee as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner.

    [33:46]
    And as a summoner unto Allah by His permission, and as a lamp that giveth light.

    [33:47]
    And announce unto the believers the good tidings that they will have great bounty from Allah.

    [33:48]
    And incline not to the disbelievers and the hypocrites. Disregard their noxious talk, and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.

    [4:69]
    Whoso obeyeth Allah and the messenger, they are with those unto whom Allah hath shown favour, of the prophets and the saints and the martyrs and the righteous. The best of company are they!

    [4:70]
    That is bounty from Allah, and Allah sufficeth as Knower.

    [7:155]
    And Moses chose of his people seventy men for Our appointed tryst and, when the trembling came on them, he said: My Lord! If Thou hadst willed Thou hadst destroyed them long before, and me with them. Wilt thou destroy us for that which the ignorant among us did ? It is but Thy trial (of us). Thou sendest whom Thou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt: Thou art our Protecting Friend, therefore forgive us and have mercy on us, Thou, the Best of all who show forgiveness.

    [7:156]
    And ordain for us in this world that which is good, and in the Hereafter (that which is good), Lo! We have turned unto Thee. He said: I smite with My punishment whom I will, and My mercy embraceth all things, therefore I shall ordain it for those who ward off (evil) and pay the poor- due, and those who believe Our revelations;

    [7:157]
    Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful.

    [7:158]
    Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah to you all – (the messenger of) Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and He giveth death. So believe in Allah and His messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, who believeth in Allah and in His Words, and follow him that haply ye may be led aright.

    [33:56]
    Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! Ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.

    [66:8]
    O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.

    [21:107]
    We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.

  22. Funny how when they throw figures of how much these planes are worth that one real rich person in this world actually has that amount of money! They can almost protect our whole country financially on their own. I know a big far fetched and I know there is so much more to it all and do not mean any disrespect to those who fight for us, but damn as much money as that seems like for some people it’s not anything

  33. Eielson AFB, Fort Richardson, Emendorf AFB, and Fort Wainwright are located on the front lines of tomorrow's wars. We need to increase deployments to these bases so that China and Russia will think twice, three or four times before attacking Alaska or Canada.

  35. General McConnell (excuse my spelling) was an exceptionally impressive gentleman. Regaining Arctic Dominance…. Our men are there to WIN. Well Thank God for this man. Finally someone stands up and tells our young people that winning matters. Treating EVERYONE with equal dignity MATTERS, but that doesn’t mean that I changed my mind. No, I didn’t. WINNING MATTERS!!

  42. I was sent up to Alaska TDY back in the 1980s and 90s to install telephone cables at both major AF bases including the radar stations. And went twice to Shemya AFB. I was station at Norton AFB and later from McClellan AFB both in California. Great to be part of Cold War History. Great video, Those two bases sure changed a lot.
