The loss of confidence phrasing is somewhat traditional for extra marital affairs.
Probably some junior officers or enlisted were adulterous and the more senior officers tried to conceal it.

Well, there was some scuttlebutt that commissars injected into DOD during Obama days had a mission to ID and remove right-wing personnel.(terrorists, you know!!!)
Not how it works, were you ever in the military?
They probably refused to wear dresses.
Yes it does. These officers were seen giving the Balloon the Finger or out right Mooning it. Chinese overlords were not pleased with the show of disrespect. /S
Hmmmm …. Must have been a HELL OF A PARTY.
Yes, they all went outside and MOONED it. j/k

Might have been more than one wife.
Just in general the loss of confidence phrasing is traditional for extra marital something. Can be other things, but that is the signal all AF people know.
I read the scuttlebutt on the r/Air Force subreddit on Reddit.
Was some “parties” that got out of hand...
Minot in the Winter is a bad place to begin with. It gets bad when/if you do naughty things to relieve boredom.
I am a retired SMSgt, in case someone tells me that’s not how things work.
They likely interfered with orders to leave sensitive equipment outside so the spy balloons could get a good look.
