Has there ever been a time, even at the height of WWII or Korea, or Vietnam, when we had a hard time finding young men who wanted to be an Air Force pilot? Think about something...our population is larger than ever, and we have fewer planes than ever. It should be easier than ever before to find pilots.
Something is wrong... and it isn’t just the wars, or the commercial market, etc. The USAF and the other branches have stripped everything macho, cool, and ballsy out of the “flight station”. (the term cockpit has even been banned)
Women who have never flown a plane run the Air Force in the entire pacific. Trannys and lesbos and homos and atheists wield immense power.
That’s the biggest reason.
I’m sure PC is a big part of it as well.
But I continue to wonder what people in today’s military really think about our military objectives. I wish they could talk freely about this.
Single moms growing emasculated boys into emasculated metrosexuals doesn’t help either. 0dunga was ahead of his time in this dept.
There are trannies flying now as Captains of all major airlines. Just google American Airlines.
The Romney boys don’t want to serve. Senator Burr’s sons are not interested. Phil Gramm’s sons have other priorities. The Sununu family has a tradition of leaving it to other families. Etc., etc.
Yes. The pussified services do not draw the men they used to.
The Robin Olds of the past wouldn’t last 6 months in today’s service.
Take a look at his quote on fighter pilots and weep for what has been lost.

Actually, we’ve had multiple pilot shortages. That was why they brought leather jackets back - to supposedly improve moral and help retain pilots!
Typically, pilots leave when the airlines are hiring big or when the paperwork weenies get overwhelming. They also tend to leave anytime flight hours go down, which in turn can be driven by maintenance or other issues.
