Once General LeMay and his type left the USAF, I believe the USAF as a military unit went downhill. The last ones left the USAF around the early 1980’s.

I guess you could ask all those Iraqi Units on the highway to hell leading out of Kuwait about USAF as a military unit and being downhill and all. Oh! Wait, they’re all dead!

That's true about them going downhill.

The Air Force thinks of themselves more as civilians rather than warriors. Back a few years ago, I attended an airshow at an AFB and the enlisted were walking around with no covers (hats to civilians) on their heads, some were walking around without their ABU tops on, and not one stopped and rendered a salute during the National Anthem. And a lard assed Major who saw the EM's yucking it up instead of saluting did nothing.

Just last year I was working on a project on an Air Force base, and it is seriously like a freaking resort rather than a MILITARY base.

I remember seeing the Air Force weenies freak out over on Military.com when it was announced that they had to do PT in the morning.
