extraordinarily critical of his decision to withdraw troops from syria. but this is something we have seen from presidents before, right? there is a long history of this. when i covered the obama white house, every year at christmastime, he was in hawaii, he would go to the marine corps base there. previous presidents have often made those unannounced trips, obviously, for security reasons, right? reporter: yeah, there s a great deal of secrecy on these trips. i ve been to several of them with president obama, both to iraq and afghanistan. you can t even tell your spouse, your family where you re going. depending on where you land, you either do a corkscrew landing directly in, which minimizes the profile of air force one as it s coming down, from enemy fire, from my potential terrorists that would wish the president of the united states harm. there have been some security lapses. you ll recall when secretary of defense jim mattis in 2017 visited afghanistan, and around the time of h
it is the old and new mixed together but as you mentioned several times now that blimp carries an array of very sophisticated surveillance and detection equipment that does guard the skies over this part of the united states. and, jim, let s talk about their use. they were notable when the first time we laid eyes on these over baghdad. they had one out at the old saddam hussein airport. and one i know in kabul. and people didn t know what to make of them. i think the assumption was they were just being used for photography. those in the military knew that it gave them just huge eyes over a huge area, especially when in baghdad you had the resumption of flights. you had flights coming in, military cargo flights, commercial flights with contractors. nay needed to be defended. they were doing this kind of corkscrew landing into the

about the level of security on the plane, and they didn t even have to do a corkscrew landing, because they are worried about rockets coming to them in and that plane did not have to do that for a long time to show that the security on the ground in afghanistan is much better than it has been in years past. what a difference 13 years makes, and the legacy of the troops othere on the ground. and president obama is there connecting what happened on 9/11 to the service there today, and we continue to watch president obama shake hands in the room, and this is of course memorial day weekend and he spent a fair amount of time there thanking the troops for their service, and reminding them and perhaps all of us about those who have fallen there in afghanistan saying that their memories an lives will live on as well. we will continue to watch this.
