Received this from the head of the Association of Graduates for the USAF Academy. For those of us who attended the Academy when this was known as the "Bring Me Men..." ramp.....for decades.....it's another sad day wrought by political correctness. Makes me glad I'm a dinosaur.

In light of far bigger issues today, trivial. Still, another thorn in the side.

"Bring me men" encompassed all of those values and more. All they've done is restricted the list of hundreds of hard values that make up a true man down to only three.

If I had my way, I'd change it to: "L.C.W.B."

The continuing feminization of the military.

When will someone get the cajones to say out loud that men are the warrior sex, and thats OK.

Not saying that women can't be in the military and be valuable. But "sex in the foxhole" isn't good for the military. Whether it's straight sex, or homosexual, no matter.

There's more important things going on in warfare, and if people are thinking about who they're going to manuver into bed tonight, then they're not doing their job.

Makes me glad I'm a dinosaur.

From one dinosaur to another: I agree wholeheartedly!!

Proudly, but, in another sense, sadly, I watched my nephew graduate from our alma mater this June and saw, first hand, how so many things had changed. He and my son who is an active duty F-16 pilot are going to have to live with the PC BS exemplified by the removal of "Bring Me Men" from the ramp throughout their careers.

These misguided PC policies are ultimatedly weakening our military and our nation. I just hope that one of my loved ones does not have to pay the ultimate price for this stupidity.

They had no choice but to change the slogan to something entirely different.

Somehow, "Bring Me Persons" doesn't contain much of a punch, nor much of anything else, does it?

[asgardshill]

What are they going to change it to? "Mars Needs Women"?

[grobdriver]

Would have been easier to just add a word:

"Bring Me Girlie-Men"

[Militiaman7]

In the early 1990s, then-Chief of Staff, General Merrill McPeak, published six Air Force Core Values: integrity, courage, competence, tenacity, service and patriotism.

Retired General "Dress Blues" McPeak knows nothing about these values.

Very sad for my alma mater. PC strikes again!

After the “Bring Me Men” words were removed from above the Warrior Ramp

I wonder what genius thought this was a good idea.

I don't see anything in the article that says why the words were removed from the Warrior Ramp in a time of war when warriors are needed to protect the nation. I can only guess that some feminist got a "snit" because of the word "men".

Are they sure they want to call it a "warrior ramp"? That sounds too masculine. How about a "unisexual equal capability ramp"? That sounds soooo less violent, and ohhh so precious.

If we keep feminizing our military how are we suppose to win wars?

ANNOUNCEMENT:

The new "Bring Me Women" sign was just installed outside Pukin Dog's home.

Of the service academies, USAFA is, like its parent service, the quickest to yield to political correctness. I'm not surprised by this development in the least.

As others have posted, we are witnessing the emasculation of our military.
