What were their pronouns? First and foremost.

Probably a bunch of affirmative action hires.

They weighed in at nearly 260 pounds during medical treatment

That's a big boy. For one, this wing did not enforce air force height/weight standards.

They were probably too busy with pronoun training, like the author of this article.

If we ever need to go to full-scale war with a major power (think China)... with a military like this... we’re f’ed.

Yes, it certainly is for any so-called crew member in the Air Force. We had the Air Force’s 20th Special Operations Squadron fly their faster choppers for us in 68-69. I flew with the senior FAC, an Air Force Major, when we inserted recon teams, we took reports from them, plus we got them extracted. Those 20th SOS pilots and crew were extremely well trained and brave. CPT. Jim Flemming received the CMH for saving one of our recon teams west of Duc Lap in Nov. 68. The team leader he saved was a 1LT then and a friend of mine. When I see those Gens on Biden’s staff, I wonder how they are still wearing uniforms when they are so obese?

“They” weighed 260 pounds. I’m guess that “they” was “assigned male at birth.” Or that’s one hefty wom… er, can’t define it. Maybe a birthing person with a front hole?

Was “they” two 130 pound persons?

That depends. I’ve known some “big ol’ boys” that carried that kind of weight very well. Helps that they were in the ‘quite tall’ category though.
