Sadly, it’s because of my service and my time on a joint command staff (for an AF 4 star) and, truthfully, I met a lot of really great people in the Air Force (where my brother served for 24 years so don’t anyone be disrespecting the B-52!) and the other branches too!

What I said earlier stands, but isn’t the complete body of work. I am troubled by the lack of concern the AF has in the field because it costs lives! I know this all too well people.

I’m retired now but miss those days.

And to you present Air Force personnel, it’s okay to sneer at the other services but don’t let it get in the way of safety and please, for crying out loud, think before you launch that missile at an unknown vehicle because it could very well have a fellow patriot in it!

Your drivel has proven one thing to me....you are NOT retired military.

I call bullshit. I think you're a poser, a DU troll, and your posts are digging your own grave.

You sir are no spokesman for the B-52.

No disrespect intended you idiot.

I don’t know what you saw or heard, but your brushing the AF with that broad brush is not doing you any favors.

That’s the same as me saying that all Marines are jarheads and do nothing but get drunk, start fights and pi$$ in public places. (TO ALL MARINES: IT’s AN ANALOGY!!) Ducking just in case.

I am not going to make any friends or get someone to see my side of a poorly argued position stating something like that even if did have definitive proof. Besides, some Marines may consider that a badge of honor. (JK Marines!).
