It wasn't towards you.
I honestly think the AF just attracts more of a certain kind of D-Bag leader that the other branches don't. It might be due to the percieved (and sometimes true) "cushy lifestyle". I've just seen way too many instances of "leaders" putting themselves above the mission and the men/women that serve under them. It would take me another two pages to list them all to be honest.
In any case the point I was originally trying to make was that suspiscion of the military and congress is well warranted, as both are to varying degrees detached from the consiquences of thier descisions or lack thereof.
I don't despise the flag, I'm just wary of those who wrap thier self serving descisions in it.
