Are you serious?
Obama smoked weed in Uni, doesn’t mean he was an ineffective lawyer or statesman.
And people can be sent to county jail for that, getting a criminal record

True but people with misdemeanour convictions can own firearms in both the UK and USA and that’s for owning than rather than bearing them subject to strict military discipline.

Basically to turn (almost) any modern fighter into an anti-sub aircraft, since dedicated long-range platforms like the S-2 Tracker or S-3 Viking don't really exist anymore. Mostly intended for carrier-based aircraft; helicopters like the SH/MH-60 are fine for defending a carrier group, but really lack the range and endurance if you need to support a different allied formation (say, another carrier group) farther away.
The system would consist of two or more pods: 1-2 for sonobuoys, and another containing the equipment to allow the aircraft to interface/communicate with the buoys, plus a towed MAD array (like on the SH-60B). The later might have to be two seperate pods depending on how much room the sonobuoy interface equipment takes up, and on the aircraft carrying it. As it turns out, a typical sonobuoy (A-size; 36 in x 4.875 in) is about the same size as a BLU-108 submunition (31 in x 5.25 in), of which the CBU-97 cluster bomb carries 10. So two pods about the size of a CBU-97 (or one larger pod) would get you 20 sonobuoys. The aircraft would also carry ASW torpedoes like the Mk 46, which (I assume) would be parachute deployed.
An installation for say, an F-15E Strike Eagle would perhaps carry two sonobuoy pods - one on each wing pylon, an interface/MAD pod on the centerline fuselage hardpoint, and four torpedoes on the front and back fuselage hardpoints. It would still be able to carry four AAMs on the side rails on the wing pylons.
This would probably be best for two-seat fighters (with a weapon system officer) since the pilot is most likely too busy flying at wave top height to also be keeping track of a bunch of sonobuoys and a MAD array.
Thoughts?

I'm thinking of basing my government cars with those little flags out front around the Ares given I'm roleplaying a Psychotic dictatorship and all. Thanks for any feedback!

I think they can but in this RP some guy said they would all steal from civilians and desert. I thought that sounded racist.
