Be back later. Thanks for the ping.
LOL! I’ll bet you’re right.
Lake Ego?

What I remember about McPeak is that he kept everything in constant chaos and turmoil. He changed the regulation numbering system, he changed the specialty codes, he changed the uniforms, he mandated that all regulations be only a single page - and they ended up being 5 pt type with no margins to meet some capricious standard that he made up. His decisions were arbitrary and not well thought out. They cost the taxpayers billions and wasted incalculable time and resources when the Air Force didn’t have them to spare. Every regulation in the Air Force had to be rewritten to meet his ridiculous whims. All of this detracted from the mission and hurt readiness.
I was goint to read this just to see why oregon needed a “general”, but as soon as I saw the name McPeek, I stopped reading.
Hah! I was only going to read a little of it but it was so comical I had to read it all.
LOL So true
Someone should let Harry Esteve know who the “fictional character” the Great Santini was.

Thanks for linking that, Pam. I’ll send that to Esteve and maybe, just maybe he’ll realize the fictional Santina was based on a real person.
Ah Yes Ole Maggot Infected Weasel Clark, the perfumed pink panty wearing pentagon poster boy of the Clintoons, aka the killer of innocent Americans civilians at Waco and innocent Christian civilians in Serbia.
Clark is shown below enjoying a gay happy moment, with no socks while being very light in his loafers!”
So are McPeak and Clark really good friends?
I have no idea but it really wouldn't surprise me if they were.

I myself was never in SAC.. and I use to think that it was alright that it went away... but now I think a bit differently.
I was SHOCKED when Cyber Command was standing up... and saw that they used the Old SAC shield for its emblem..
It appears that I am not the only one who has bad memories of Chief of Staff McPeak.
I can remember being in Korea in 1990 just before the DESERT STORM lit off.. and being dragged down into SongTong Si for a big party.. When I asked what it was for.. I was told that it was the celebration that General McPeak was leaving PACAF to become the Air Combat Command Commander...
Every person at the party hated his policies and him.. and the person who took me down there as a E-4 Sergeant was a O-6 that I worked with frequently.
Then General Dugan was removed from the Chief of Staff position by George Bush, Sr. for saying to the press that our forces were going to take casualties when the conflict started.. and McPeak was named as his succesor.. That very same O-6 took me down into the ville with a bunch of other people.. and we had a wake for the nomination.
The Colonel later resigned his commission nearly 9 months after Desert Storm ended.. and he wrote me a email.. and told me that I should consider getting out because the changes were going to hurt.. But I stayed on.. but he was right, it hurt later on...
You mean he did not really fly 200+ missions over Vietnam? Did he embellish his War record like John Effin Kerry?
“What kind of a veteran career military man would support John Kerry?”
A military man just like John Kerry, that’s what kind.
You mean he did not really fly 200+ missions over Vietnam? Did he embellish his War record like John Effin Kerry?
No I meant to say that the picture painted him out to have just dusted off the grease and blood from his jump suit after being the cold-hearted, steely eyed ace of a fighter pilot... and by the grace of God and his fine psyche was able to avoid combat related "PTSD" or some other malady that "shatters" vets. Puhleeze, I'm sick of all the cr#p that everybody in a FAO comes back needing a psych evaluation and medications.
War changes everybody. Combat changes your outlook and effects everybody, differently. But this constant mantra by the left that all the men that are rotated to overseas assignments is just another attempt to weaken our resolve and put doubt in our men serving.
I really don't give a rat's a## if McPeak flew 400 missions. From what I've read, he screwed up the USAF and was a clown. Reading on what he supports and the manner in which he conducts himself, he needs to join the weasel, Clark.
The guy set the AF back 20 years and they’re still trying to recover.
ROTFLOL!
Excellent!
You have to know that this state is Union Owned now...
