I certainly don't think theres a whole lot of military PC Kool-Aid out there, and if there is, I don't see it where I drill. But I do believe in Philosophy, specifically the theory that the human race progresses with time, and in doing so establishes new standards for morality, societal and institutional norms, etc. It is of course also human nature to resist these changes.


Again, I think we show signs of which generation we claim, and that drives our biases on this topic. I am not saying you should believe what I believe. I definitely see where you are coming from, but I choose to support political correctness for certain reasons: I am a Muslim, I am a minority, and I fully support women in combat roles and in the cockpit. The opportunities I have had in life are due to pioneers before me helping to break down barriers. You may disagree with me, and that's alright because the more differing opinions we have when it comes to military service, the more we can develop ideas on how to move forward.

This is a buzz kill. Can we talk about airplanes and the airlines now
