If people have got it in their mind that Biden is not mentally capable for the job it could be an almost impossible thing to turn around. It might not cause people to vote for Trump but rather just not turn out to vote for Biden

what helo would be operated from the AOPS? Cyclone and Cormorant seem Iike too big and overkill. I see theres a Polar Icebreaker helo project too that seems like it wants something more than the Griffon
