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."

Some of Obama’s appointed officers must still be in active service.

I know, which is my biggest criticism of him. He didn’t bring in his own people, he didn’t purge the bureaucracy, he just muddled along using retreads that people told him to pick.

Remove all insignia and replace it with rainbow flags, little representations of anuses, pink ribbons, tattoos, body jewelry, little pink pompoms and the like. Their exercises can include rave drugs (date rape drugs) and blind orgies.

Best we can say is that Trump planted some seeds that hopefully one day will bear fruit.

Great idea for a movie if anyone had the guts to make it.

General Patton comes to the present from some time warp and Trump names him to head the military today, with all it’s PC rules.

It’s it still OK to deny them your essence?

Meanwhile, the Chi-Coms are laughing at us.

They certainly are smiling.

90+% bet they have been using their influence to push this insanity.

It is an obvious weakness in our system...

Let me give you an examole from the Air Force Academy. All squadrons have a nickname and a patch, Of the 40, here’s the ines that will be gone in due course: Bull 6, Stalag 17, Chickenhawk 16, Rebeleven, Top 20 Trolls, Blackjack 21, Blackbirds 28, Black Panthers 29, Knights 30, Loose Hogs 34, Pink Panthers 36. You can see where this going. Now multiply this across every flight squadron, wing, group, etc. and it’s going to mass chaos.

This isn't new. Most units have their official and their unofficial logos and coins.

Some of the official ones were cool but most by far were boring. A lot were out of date with but no one wanted to waste the time coming up with new patches or pay for new dies for the coins.

The easiest ones to hide had two meanings or were hidden in an acronym such as AYAAYAS (If You Ain't Ammo, You Ain't Sh-t).
