Political stunt. Publicity for campaign. 🙄
Does the military require speedy trials?

General Mutiny Millie says he won’t obey CIC if China squaks and gets a pass .

Priorities I guess.

Oh, so he’s just an Airman, spouting off like that, while in uniform? Too much arrogance, not enough discernment.
Wonder who advised him to pull this stunt?
If someone did advise it, they are probably in the civilian world, not living as a G.I.

Both the AP Style Guide and the Military & Veteran Affairs Reporting Guide prefer the specificity of “Air Force officer” over the less descriptive “airman.”

Too bad those of us not on X or CNN can see the story.

I’m guessing that some Air Force knob gobbler that hates Trump stepped on his crank and might be subject to UCMJ?

Forgive my ignorance, but isn’t ‘Airman’ an enlisted rank in A.F.? Shouldn’t the headline read ‘Air Force Major Jason Watson...’

The title confused me. Because an airman is a low enlisted rank in the Air Force. It is most certainly not an officer rank.

So I just checked a few other sources. Turns out this Jason Watson guy is an Air Force major. Maybe X should hire me as a title editor.

I guess his chances of making Colonel aren’t looking good.

Not unless AOC is elected president in 2028. Then he’s got a decent chance of being made a Field Marshal.

Stockdale and Whitledge. "Airman sounds like something out of the funny books."

Technically, everyone in uniform in the Air Force is considered an “Airman.” The lowest enlisted ranks are prefaced by the word Airman, which adds to the confusion. But all of us in uniform are considered “Airmen” wether enlisted, officer, men or women.

I wondered that, too. I think you’re right. ‘Airman’ is probably also correct in a technical sense. Like saying George Patton, jr., was a ‘soldier.’ He was that, and a general officer.

Well, as he’s now up on multiple charges airman basic might be his current rank.
