Al-kazahy said she thinks he was victimized by the Marines and targeted for prosecution because of racism.

“No matter what you do in life, if you are a person of color it’s always going to be 10 times harder for you,” she said. “You have to work 10 times harder than the person who is white.”

The Marine Corps said in a statement that an investigation found the accusations of discrimination to be unsubstantiated.

UMMMM YEAH

The Marines forced him to try to get on the AF base with a bunch of weapons.

That’s right up there with believable explanations! (/s)

“Al-Kazahg was home on leave visiting family when he was arrested May 31 at Offutt’s Capehart Road gate. Security officers searched his truck and found two semi-automatic rifles, a pistol, a silencer, a bump stock, a vest with body armor and a case of ammunition.”

Yup, just a poor prosecuted muslim of color.

Unless they’re back, I think the Strategic Air Command was rolled into Central Command. The SAC of old and the Cold War no longer exists.

So, is this to mean that back in 1978, when I took a summer school course in Binghampton NY between my Junior /Senior years and 5 “youths of color” decided to beat the snot out of me and put me in the hospital, I kinda deserved it?

For being white?

Well, has my personal penance been made? Should I never have to fear violence or discrimination again from a person of color (WTF does that mean, BTW?)?

I suppose I recovered, as some of my best friends have been “of color”.

If Security officers had found two semi-automatic rifles, a pistol, a silencer, a bump stock, a vest with body armor and a case of ammunition on a white guy they would have waved him through... right? /s

Well honey that's because it took the white race fourteen hundred years of civilizing to progress from sixth century barbarity, where you people are still at, to where we are today. Fourteen hundred years from now you won't have to work ten times as hard.

The way things are today I think they would have shot him for being white.

Sorta, kinda right...I was a part of the Command structure for the stand-down of SAC and the stand-up of USSTRATCOM. SAC, MAC and TAC (along with other MAJCOMS) went away and SAC assets were transferred to some of the newly created MAJCOMS, i.e the aircraft on missiles - - while the warheads and their missions stayed under the control of USSTRATCOM.

Interesting days back then.

PS: the writer of the article should have done a better job. But that just seems typical now days.

Uh...SAC hasn’t been a thing for like 20 years. It’s been Air Combat Command for about that long. And anybody who brings weapons onto a federal installation will get jacked up like this. It’s stupid and shortsighted, but there ya go...

Currently Offutt’s host unit on base is the 55th Wing, the largest wing of the Air Combat Command. It serves as the headquarters for the Air Force Weather Agency and the US Strategic Command.

It used to be SAC HQ but SAC has been gone since 1992.

There hasn’t been a Strategic Air Command for 28 years.

No. SAC is now a Global Combatant Command - US Strategic Command. I work there in the J3. This happened at the gate I go through multiple times a day. The gate guards were on the ball, thankfully.

I was referring to the original Strategic Air Command, established in 1946. It was Gen. Curtis E. LeMay's SAC and the Strategic Air Command depicted in the Hollywood movie starring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1955. At that time, SAC was into the the era of the B-52 but it was the B-47 that was the featured SAC bomber in the movie.
