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.

It was happening by the early 80’s as well.
Maybe it is related to the Air Force being the most commander “Anti-God” military service.
Well, then, I find “Air Force” offensive. “Force” means to make someone do something against their will. What a horrible word!

She was appointed by Trump.
The country spent close to twenty years fighting the “War on Terror” and lost in the end. Obama shredded the military. Biden will give the green light for America to go back to BS wars,rogue states and terror. What a joke.
