I was in the AF reserve under Carter. Af was run by “managers’. No flight time, heavy reliance on simulators. AF was not ready for war.
Enter Reagan and now active duty. Now lead by Warriors. Training and equipment vastly improved. When I got out in 90 the AF was hard and ready to kick ass.
I would also advise any kid who is the least bit conservative to avoid the military now. The political Kommisars are coming....
....28 years of military service, including United States Navy and United States Air Force....many stories on the ‘net about the “new and improved!” U.S. Armed Forces...today’s military seems to be led by a cabal of social justice warriors....the next war we will be engaged in will be with China and we won’t win it.....jus’ sayin’ ......
