Quite agree, hacker15e, the AF is filled with armchair judges disguised as SQ/CCs. I had a 2-star wailing on me about one of my crews who declared "safety of flight" due to fatigue. I told him until I heard from the crew, who were in C/R and couldn't be called, I had no opinion except to back up the A/C's decision. He was HOT and asked was that the best I could say. "Yes, it is", I replied. Fortunately, my Wing CC backed me up when he was called, same subject. Case closed, but it doesn't go that way many times, too many.
