[T.B. Yoits]

"A friend of mine who retired from teaching at the Air Force Academy would tell you the following. This while a somewhat extreme example, such attitudes aren’t unusual in this “Alphabet” generation. Over the last maybe 10 years this type of amorality plus a willingness to be very “political” was common. He and some of his faculty colleagues wondered with this kind of material how could we ever have an apolitical officer corps."

The political mindset some Zoomies brought on active duty with them disappeared when they reached their first operations base or pilot training base because it meant nothing.

Those whose first assignments to places such as Bolling AFB or the Pentagon got smacked with reality when their second or third assignment was an operations base. There was no outlet for their political nonsense and no cheerleaders to join their crusades.

ROTC in particular helps keep the officer corps apolitical.

I hope you’re right!
