Bet this doesn’t happen in the Chinese military. Today’s military is coasting on the wave of invincibility that was hard won for them in past decades. Can anyone imagine this in the days of the 8th Air Force? In the cold war era of LeMay? In the USAF of the late cold war?

Empires do not get away with such frivolity forever.

When you turn the military into an experiment in social engineering this is what you end up with.

I would pay GOOD money to see Lemay's reaction to this. But, I wouldn't want to be within a hundred yards of it.

I suppose you think this was "frivolity," too? This is very serious business...
