Yes, the Air Force does screen its pilots for mental defect. If they have one—or more, they are qualified to fly.

I’m not sure that discharging servicemen for being rude is in our national best interests.

Lots of officers are crazy. Some are brilliant.

If he doesn't like the haircut at the BX, he should have his long-suffering wife cut his hair.

I would like to discharge their CIC for being rude, though.

If it's a 4-ship flight, it's got a 160 IQ.

Mental illness is about self disclosure. You can’t diagnose it. They guy was probably just a dick.

This has to be the dumbest vanity I have ever read.

Congratulations on filling up FR bandwidth with useless drivel!

Smoking addiction is a mental defect.

Does Congress screen Senators and Reps for mental defects? (obviously not)

And then following it up with threats like “Trust me . . . you do not want to advance another silly insult my way.” This person doesn’t really sound like he’s hitting on all cylinders.

So.... this officer expressed their opinion that smokers smell like smoke. And somehow this offends you. Guess what, you have the right to be offended, just as the officer has the right to express their opinion.

I don’t give a care if he is rude to his barber. I care if he will go into harms way and rudely bomb our enemies.

Not at all. But I wouldn’t upset a barber who is cutting my hair and has a razor at his/her disposal near my neck. My comment is just because someone can fly an aircraft does not mean he (or she) has the sense God gave a turnip. And having spend four decades with the Air Force and DoD, I would tend to bet on the turnip.

It wasn’t a silly insult. Smokers do stink. It’s the way things are and no matter how much perfume or breath spray you use, you cannot cover it up if you have just finished smoking. Get over yourself. And I don’t believe threats such as you made are really condoned here.

Why, yes.

Very successfully, too, it would appear.
