United States Air Force

The United States Air Force (USAF) is the air service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, responsible for air and space warfare. Recent news highlights several aspects of its operations. Firstly, the USAF is preparing to receive a Boeing 747-8, gifted to the Trump administration, for use as Air Force One. Secondly, the FAA issued warnings regarding potential USAF "military activities" over Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, and Colombia, raising concerns about regional stability. Thirdly, the USAF's involvement in combating suspected drug runners is under scrutiny, specifically regarding the use of aircraft disguised as civilian planes, potentially violating the laws of war. These events underscore the USAF's diverse roles, from presidential transport to international operations and domestic law enforcement support, while also raising ethical and legal questions about its conduct.
