Houston Chronicle ^ | May 4, 2015 | Sig Christenson

A two-star general resigned his command in San Antonio last week after making a racially-charged comment during a lower-ranking officer's disciplinary hearing, the Air Force said Monday.

Maj. Gen. Michael Keltz, then commander of the 19th Air Force at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, told an accused officer that he appeared “drunker than 10,000 Indians” in a photo of him and another airman. The Air Force confirmed that Keltz made the remark, which initially was reported in a blog.

Was that dots-Indians or feathers-Indians? Just what protected class did he piss off?

I’m guessing feathers-Indians.

Well the Apaches etc were known to like a drink or 10,000 back in the day. Even on the reservations many of them still do.

The Air Force must have an oversupply of good generals for this one lose his command over a thing like this. At least he’s been made an example for the rest.

We are undergoing a Soviet-style ideological purge of the military.

Those left will have no problem shooting you.

“drunker than 10,000 Indians”?

The proper term is "drunker than 10,000 Native Americans”

Sheesh!

As I was winding down my career in the USAF, it was becoming policy that if one knew of “aberrant” behavior and didn’t report it, they were just as guilty.

It has created a system of snitches for some of the most minor errors in judgement without a chance at redemption.

Ever since I started in the USAF (still serving) in 1985 the USAF has moved decidedly to the left, has been taken over by liberal progressive lawyers, and is far worse than the one-mistake air force of General McPeak. To lose a command over such a thing is stunning and I would submit that every liberal is guilty of far worse. But, when you run the USAF like you do the Star Trek Enterprise (Next Generation) Where they are paralyzed until the ask for “counsel” then you get what you get today...a highly reactionary force that has a perpetual identity crisis and cant make a solid leadership decision without calling for a confab so as to all wring their hands together and suffer death by consensus.

Casino Indians. Not call-center Indians.
