Seemed likely.

Now where does the student body go to get an apology from the Commander?

Absolutely must suffer the same penalty that a White would have, plus discharge and jail time.

Every so called hate crime is a hoax. Or at least 99% of them.

I had a feeling, 99%, that this was the case when the news broke on this fake hate crime.

A friend had a cousin that went through something like that. The cousin broke up with a girlfriend. She calls him up for a post break up ‘no strings attached’ booty call. After the booty call, he’s arrested for rape. She bruised herself (so says the cousin) and, of course, has physical evidence they had sex. Was in jail for months with a bond he couldn’t afford to post. Not sure whatever happened to the guy.

When I ever broke up with a girl, having sex with her again was the last thing on my mind. He broke up with her, but evidently not with her booty. Idiot.

She probably stalked him too, trying to draw him into a confrontation where she could trick the cops into believing that she was victimized. All they have to do is tell the police “He’s scaaaring meeeee...” and the guy is hauled off to jail. All because she expects to have at least a two-carat diamond engagement ring on her finger after only a few mediocre romps in the sack where she let him do most of the work. But no, the guy is not a fool and it really pisses her off because that’s what she’d been playing him for from the start, and now she regrets having been all over him like a cheap suit because it makes her look like the slut she really was/is. Everything about her turns out to be a lie and that she had no right to expect anything but to have the door smack her in the ass on the way out.

The problem is that, now, EVERY SWINGING DICK in a leadership position is a fighter jock, or an ex-fighter jock. The Silk Scarf types are NOT leaders. They are rugged individualists who are a prime example of the Peter Principle.

Time was when SAC and cargo haulers had all the top spots, people who had to learn how to lead, from a crew, to a lot of crews, to a squadron. Before that, old soldiers, officers, men with another skill, who had a pilot's ticket, and still could fly a desk.

Fighter pilots are as useful as tits on a boar hog when it comes to the drudgery of military administration. And now, you've got Perfumed Princes who are also Obama's Butt Boys.

Robin Olds was a fighter jock, a Hollywood icon, a fearless leader who led by example in combat, and a superior commander.

So much for your theory.

How far up the Ladder did Olds get, in the Air Force? He was a fighter, a warrior, a guy who looked at the world through a gunsight. He was NOT executive material. For every Robin Olds or Chuck Yeager, there are are too many Lt Col Arthur “Bud” Hollands. (Look up the Fairchild AFB B-52H crash.)

Olds was promoted to brigadier general after returning from Vietnam but did not hold another major command. The remainder of his career was spent in non-operational positions, as Commandant of Cadets at the United States Air Force Academy and as an official in the Air Force Inspector General's Office. His inability to rise higher as a general officer is attributed to both his maverick views and his penchant for drinking.

Top fighter pilots ARE NOT good administrators. Sorry about that. They shoot, without hesitation. They are not the people you want running a company, or a logistics operation. Remember, for every man in the air, you've got 15 or 20 on the ground doing maintenance, getting parts, painting hangers, designing and building the next generations of test equipment.

Robin Olds had a stellar career promoting the mission — the real mission — kill people and break things — a dedicated warrior’s warrior, not a political hack like we have now.

Hollands is a red herring; shame.

“Top fighter pilots ARE NOT good administrators” is a smear against warriors — all of our top generals in WWII were WARRIORS.

By the way the general in this story may superficially resemble a warrior on the outside but he’s just a Obama-holdover sellout, a brainwashed political hack (the real reason he was selected) not for any of his “administrative skills” or combat rectitude.

I’m sure the vast majority of his peers hold him in contempt, as I do.

If you have something against fighter jocks in general (of course you do) — sounds like a personal problem. That’s between you and your hairdresser.

And of course you must be really happy that “BRING ME MEN” has been taken down too, and the AFA now has become politicized with a female lesbian commander (doesn’t she have a big tattoo on her leg? — ha!)— chosen for political reasons, in the name of “diversity” of course. Because diversity is our strength!! ha

Hell, the AFA has gone completely counter to the warrior spirit — AFA now looks more like a pantywaist administrative liberal arts college than a military academy.

Aided in their ascendancy by the perverse cabal between Obama-sponsored diversity police and the petty anti-”fighter jock” peanut gallery.

Killers are not administrators. I'd follow Olds into hell, but I'd also check his paperwork. Bud Holland is the classic example of why pilots do not make leaders. Everyone KNEW he was dangerous, and a lousy manager, but it took him doing a zero altitude wingover and killing his crew, in front of a camera, to prove it. If it hadn't been for the video, some mechanic would have been dumped on.

Spare me the faggot crack, you rear-rank field music panty-waist pussy. I've known F-16 drivers at Hill, OV-10, V-22, F-4 pilots at Cherry Point, Beaufort, Santa Ana, and good and bad program managers on any number of DoD TACOM and aerospace projects.

I stand by my comments.

Pilots=killers=notadministrators

You really jumped the shark.

So now Billy Mitchell, Hap Arnold, Jimmy Doolittle, Robin Olds, Jimmy Stewart, and practically every modern-era commander is a killer — and even worse — a “non-adminstrator” (which frankly sounds like a complement in my view). ROFL

So of the 215 four-star generals in the USAF, tell me how many were not rated (wears aircrew wings, in case you’re from Rio Linda)?

Go to this page and see the photos — how many DON’T have wings on their uniforms? Are there any?

There might be, but I didn’t see any at a glance. Because the glorified clerks you admire so much are NOT IN THE RUNNING FOR COMMAND the vast majority of the time. Because they are CLERKS not LEADERS.

I did enjoy the weak “you rear-rank field music panty-waist pu$$y” remark, that was really funny — like a foreigner trying to tell an American joke that instead ends up sounding like parody. HA HA!!

I found this explanation elsewhere on the internet of why pilots are put in leadership positions. Not trying to beat a dead horse, it's just worth sharing.

----

There's been some discussion here as to why the Air Force prefers officers vice NCOs as pilots, even in its UAV ("drone") force. It has to do with how it develops its future leaders.

It's widely acknowledged that the Army has great NCOs. It takes a great deal of time, training, and experience to grow them, and they do a fantastic job of leading young troops. But even though the NCOs are very effective at the small unit level, the Army still places junior officers down at the front-line platoon and company level, especially in the infantry, artillery, and armor units. Why "waste" an officer slot if the NCOs are so good? Because the Army expects its junior officers to grow up to become senior officers. And due to their experience at the small unit level, these lieutenants and captains get their fingernails dirty, see blood, and smell cordite, and thus gain an appreciation for what the troops are being asked to do. They take this experience with them as they rise through the ranks to colonel and general. It makes for better leaders and better decisions.

The Air Force is organizationally different, but they have the same mindset. For the Air Force, their "front lines" are cockpits, missile launch control centers, satellite operations facilities, and yes, UAV operations centers. Junior- and mid-level officers gain their experience "hands on" in a weapon system. They take their experience -- and appreciation for what it takes to do the job -- with them as they rise up to more senior positions. Just as in the Army, it makes for better leaders and better decisions down the road.

The Army puts NCOs as its UAV operators because UAV operations are, for the Army, an ancillary activity to the main event of fires and maneuvers performed in their combined arms paradigm using infantry, armor, and artillery, aided by their organic aviation. The Army's future leaders come primarily from those combat arms branches; they do not expect a UAV operator to grow up to command a battalion (as noted, it's an ancillary job). However, for the Air Force, their "combat arms" experience involve the hands-on operation of weapons systems. You could put NCOs in the cockpits and UAV ops centers, but NCOs do not command squadrons, groups, and wings; officers do. It takes 20 years to grow a senior leader (defined as an officer), and those senior leaders will then not have an appreciation for what goes on in their front-line units, because the front-line experience will stay in those units and rise no further.

And some work on a staff somewhere *is* important; it exposes pilots (and other officers) to other parts of the Air Force and thus helps them understand how other parts of the Air Force come together to produce air power. Otherwise, you will grow technicians who only know one job. It's called "professional development." (I can see eyes rolling at that.) I acknowledge it's not evenly applied, or even appreciated by all those receiving it. But it is necessary for a professional force.
