Commanders have until Feb. 21 to review their units' emblems, morale patches, mottos, nicknames, coins and other heraldry and insignia and remove any that are racist, sexist or derogatory, the Air Force announced Tuesday.
Starting at the squadron level and moving up, commanders must abolish symbols that are derogatory "to any race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, age or disability status to ensure an inclusive and professional environment," according to a memo from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown, Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett and Gen. John "Jay" Raymond, head of the Space Force.
"It is critical for the Department of the Air Force to embody an environment of dignity, respect and inclusivity for all airmen and guardians," the memo states, according to a service release. "Our core values demand we hold ourselves to high standards and maintain a culture of respect and trust in our chain of command."

I LOVE WW2 “Nose Art”!

Chair Force pukes.
Exactly. Somewhat surprised they haven’t moved to “reunify” Taiwan already. Probably waiting for Kameltoe to kick Sleepy Joe down the stairs, otherwise the collusion will be too obvious.
LOL...they violated their own edict in a statement pushing out the edict! Idiots.
Chair Force doing their preliminary cucking for Joe...
I’ve noticed that we’ve had a couple of accidents with our navy in recent years. So it’s obvious that the standards weren’t what they used to be in your father’s navy.
This is your Obama shaped transgenderized military.
My PJ unit had the Cheshire cat patch “Were all mad”

“Aim High … Fly-Fight-Win”
Official US Air Force Motto
It’s disrespectful of those with acrophobia.
All powder puff, unicorns, snowflakes and safe space badges may remain.
And of course any badges that offend white straight christian conservtive men can stay.
Air Force Brass Order Removal of All Offensive, Non-Inclusive Patches, Mottos and Emblems

I’m not military, so could someone educate me as to what some of these “unacceptable” patches, mottos, and emblems could be?
Not MY Air Force and I only got out in 2016!
One of my favorite submarines was the USS Blackfin (SS-322).
The patch was a Blackfin fish as a cop swinging a baton. Great boat for fight the cold war. That’s what the cop was suggesting.
Does this include the American flag?
Every unit has a unit patch and multipule non approved patches. I was Army so I can’t give a reference AF patch... but “WE” had lots of crazy patches out there. Patches were velcorwed on so it was easy to swap “Non” approved patches...sometimes our patches were like the middle finger to the higher ups... :)
Ping.
“Offensive.” Does this include the U.S. flag?
Folks there is a fantastic story in Ww2 a B17 bomber named “Murder Inc.” was shot down I’m Germany. The crew had their jackets painted ok the back. With Murder Inc. The Germans used the jackets as a propaganda tool. Calling the crew luft gangsters.
Not to be confused with the current unit ....
