You know what's funny? When I went through UPT 30 years ago, there was a class called, "Officership Development".

Every week some old heads would come in and talk to us about what it meant to be an Officer in the USAF. So one week a guy shows up who flew AC130s in Viet Nam. he's wearing a fight suit, his sleeves were rolled up, his zippers unzipped, hair a mess, boots unlaced, cigar hanging out of is mouth.

He opens with, "What this country needs is a GOOD WAR!" then goes on to talk about the pussification of the USAF since Viet Nam! He said (since there was no war at the moment in 1983) the idiots in charge had nothing better to do than worry about haircuts, shoe shines and painting the trash cans for an upcoming inspection! At one point he said, "During Viet Nam, if some Azzhole Major had told us we had to wear our hats or zip up our zippers, we would have bombed his hutch!"

Sad that they are still out there, pussifying the AF experience. Some douche looking for a promotion killed the drop night party, no doubt.

If you want to read a really good book about those glory days (Viet Nam) pick up, "Robin Olds, Fighter Pilot".
