The 187th Fighter Wing is very clearly a unit of the Alabama Air National Guard. So while you are technically correct that “There is no such thing as an ‘Air National Guard Wing’”, it is a distinction that matters little to most. The essence of the story does not change with your correction, and your offering it in a tone of “OMFG, THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS FOR SAYING THAT!” does little to impress. In fact, quite the reverse.

Similarly with “commanding general” and “Chief of Staff”.

No, it is OMFG THESE PEOPLE WON'T LISTEN WHEN CORRECTED.

Wrong. Just plain wrong.
