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."

The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things.

Guess the brass didn’t get the memo.

Black Power Marxist fists are exclusionary

Another woke government bureaucracy.

The most ironic thing is the leftist/statist DC apparatchiks who command your sons and daughters hate you.

We have to train our forces to kill the enemy without offending anyone.

No, they are part of the new uniform, hence required.

Since the left has no sense of history, any mention of the Tuskegee Airman will be purged.
