You people have lost your god damn minds.
Not sure why this is such a big deal, except for the fact that the outrage manufacturers are making it so. Basic lessons in manners that people can take or disregard, big whoop, but some are making it seem like the end of society.

So trivial for people to whine about, who cares.

Can’t believe this thread hasn’t been “OOfff’d” yet.

Could use some FADEC’ing also for good measure.

Truthfully, I’m tired of the exaggeration and outrage that some are trying to gin up over something so trivial. Sure, the left sometimes goes too far, as does the right. Those whining about how much this hurts military readiness must be pretty hard up for things to complain about.
Thanks. I share your sentiment about how selfishness and incivility seem now to be a feature, not a bug. Being kind and tolerant IS a basic courtesy many of us were raised on. Sadly, too many of us seem to have forgotten it.

“You people..”. Who are you speaking to? Do you even know? You’ve made clear you don’t care…

“Ladies and Gentlemen” still covers it for me. I don’t GAF who the ladies are, who the gentlemen are, who was born as one or the other, and who decided to be one or the other. My intent is pretty clear……if you’re offended because I left you out….,tough. I’m just gonna start saying “penises and vaginas” instead.

Good morning, penises and vaginas, this is your pilot person speaking……

Throw a couple of grade school kids in the mix and you may think differently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls..." trolling Libs is a fun daily activity

Best part of the whole article is that it ends with this:

*snip* a spokesperson told Fox News. “It is the diversity of Airmen and Guardians coming from all corners of our nation..." *snip*
