Someone on twatter asked why @POTUS used caps in his tweet this morning:
“Congratulations to Maxine Waters, whose crazy rants have made her, together with Nancy Pelosi, the unhinged FACE of the Democrat Party.”…..
Dug a bit and found this:

“Air Force officials said they will be increasing their involvement in the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Consortium’s work to develop a standard for enabling the re-use of software applications across multiple avionics platforms.”…
“[USAF Lt. Gen. C.D.] Moore said he still wants to learn more about potential risks and vulnerabilities of the FACE standard – to accurately identify any downsides and make sure that they are not “building in an ACHILLIES HEEL into systems” by enabling software to be ported across platforms.“….
I then followed another embedded link and found this:
“The FACE standard essentially enables software applications that have the common FACE API to have portability across multiple avionics platforms – from ROTARY wing to FIXED wing to UNMANNED aircraft.”….

This may be totally unrelated to POTUS’ tweet but it caught my attention when I read about the one USAF Lt. Gen.’s concern about a possible “Achilles Heel”.
