Air Force troops have been warned not to use certain words and phrases because they might be deemed offensive. An email saying that certain words such as “boy,” “girl,” and “blackmail” should not be used was sent to Airmen at Joint Base San Antonio Texas, the Daily Mail reported.
The email included an attachment with a list of words that “may be construed as offensive.”
“You people” also made the list, as well as “colonial,” “blacklist,” and the phrase “blondes have more fun.”
Someone leaked the list to Fox News, where it gained national media attention.
According to Fox News, the list did contain some genuinely offensive phrases, but commonly said phrases peppered the list as well.
A senior Air Force leader wrote the email and sent it to Airmen at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. It is unclear how many personnel received the email.

NAME?????
YOUR FIRED!
I want out.
Now.
In the Army of my day, REMF definitely didn’t refer to “Rear Echelon Mortar Fixers”.
I don’t either. And even if the list was real, who is the “Senior Air Force Leader” who sent it to the Airmen?
General Mattis got this crap sorted ASAP.

I guess Little Boy and Fat Man were real offensive.
Insanity....
Son is a Marine and said most Marines do not want women in their combat units as they are getting a free pass in training to increase their ranks when they can not do the same job, plus they become a distraction.
The insane have taken over the asylum. For the sake of mentally disabled transgendered, perhaps .00001 % of society, the language has now been hijacked. The normal and sane cannot use true language for fear of insulting the insane. “When there are no absolutes to govern society, society becomes the absolute.” -—Francis Schaeffer.
Too many chiefs? E-9s are chiefs in the AF. I remember a black guy in POL , Tsgt Shine. Did he make the list?
If this is true, it pitiful. Now those who have volunteered to serve this country and the Constitution are prohibited from the very freedoms they would and have given their lives to preserve — the freedom of speech. This kind of crap is exactly why the founders put such a heavy emphasis on free speech.
Bad for esprit de corps.
Not “private. “ Airman. Or airperson.
I think Air Force sounds too aggressive. Perhaps just Air, or Air Folks? No. Folks is too speciest. Maybe Air Things. Actually, People Who Bomb Marines is most accurate, at least from my experience.
Are bad guys bad guys any more or relativistic morally opposed adversaries? After all, their ideas are equally as valid.
Is Mattis aware???
Trump needs to do a thorough purge of military brass.
Obama spent the last 8 years embedding far left liberals in the highest ranks of the military while thinning the ranks of competent and dedicated soldiers. It is going to take time to make our military great again.
