Had a lot of fun in that club in the early 70’s. At that time both the NCO and Officers Clubs were “off base.” Lots of women standing outside the entrance calling out “sign me in GI, sign me in.”

They fly Hueys around DC to ferry the big shots.

I’ve been under a SOFA or two - mostly in Germany.

(Pun definitely intended)

Total 80s redux. The Brit and Euro weanies lost their collective mind when Reagan was prez. This is a complement to Trump.

“... I think they are wedded to high - fast flying - combat - butt burning - jets!”

A closer approximation is that in the early 1990s USAF senior leadership was hijacked by the fighter pilots: less mature, shorter attention span, endless boundary issues, ethically shaky, competition junkies, monumental egoes. Useless as team players.

They seize control and push everyone else around on a whim, driving the organization to strange places and into indefensible contradictions. Convinced they’re the center of the universe.
