Ever since I started in the USAF (still serving) in 1985 the USAF has moved decidedly to the left, has been taken over by liberal progressive lawyers, and is far worse than the one-mistake air force of General McPeak. To lose a command over such a thing is stunning and I would submit that every liberal is guilty of far worse. But, when you run the USAF like you do the Star Trek Enterprise (Next Generation) Where they are paralyzed until the ask for “counsel” then you get what you get today...a highly reactionary force that has a perpetual identity crisis and cant make a solid leadership decision without calling for a confab so as to all wring their hands together and suffer death by consensus.
General McPeak. .....Did you know him? Personally? Great man.
Although I understand your frustration, I know these people personally and can vouch that at least 70% of the senior JAG leadership in the Air Force is not what you describe. Neither TJAG (Lt Gen Chris Burne) nor DJAG (Maj Gen Jeff Rockwell)is a “liberal progressive lawyer”. Granted, there are some; however, it’s not the JAGs who are driving the discussion, we’re just trying to keep up with the DACOWITS/sexual assault/LGBTXXX/atheist agendas of much of the non-JAG, mainly civilian, leadership. And we stand our ground more often than not, previous senior leadership notwithstanding.
Colonel, USAFR
I don’t see how anyone can open his mouth or do anything without fear of reprisal.
Anything offends someone these days.
It must be horrible in the USAF. I don’t see how you can endure it.
