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."

Yah, For it to work, there must be a victor and from it someone has to be vanquished, not to rise again, permanently disabled. Who under this rule of topheaviness wants to be vanquished by them? Eh?

Trump needed to purge the officer corps the way Obama did. This is the result of him not doing so.

Since we seem to be devolving into some sort of pagan culture would the use of the word ‘air’ in any of the insignia suggest that the other three elements (water, fire, and earth) are being discriminated against?

These emasculated soy-boys would have had a collective stroke at the “nose art” on WWII aircraft.

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!

What's next Ms Barrett? The venerated song used in Air Force recruitment commercials for years going to be modernized to rap because it contained the lyric "From a pretty girl's eye"? Bet a bunch on here remember the commercial from the 50's-60's.

Air Force Song 1957

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.

What? No “White Nationalism” patches allowed. How about “Black Nationalism” Black Panther patches?
