Pentagon Trying to Get F-16 Pilots Exempted from Ban

https://politicalwire.com/2017/01/31/pentagon-trying-get-f-16-pilots-exempted-ban/

SNIP..........

Air Force Times: “The Defense Department and Iraqi diplomats are trying to find a way to exempt Iraqi military pilots from President Trump’s executive order on immigration and allow them to continue training in the United States with the Air Force.”

“Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina blasted Trump’s order… saying it could become ‘a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism.’ They cited the Iraqi pilots as an example of how the executive order undermines the fight against the Islamic State.”

Iraq doesn't have a Trump hotel so they are just out of luck.

Can't have your cake and eat it to. If the 90 day ban applies to one, it applies to all. This is the bed you made, go lay in it.
