From the article, purporting to quote BGen John Shapland:
According to several independent sources who were present for his remarks, Shapland said the following in reference to the Air Force’s unfolding pilot retention crisis, prefaced by a promise that he would deny having said it if later asked:

“… I know people, and will torpedo the career of anyone who gets out …”
It’s not clear whether Shapland was referring to all pilots or a specific subcategory, but some in the crowd and many more gathered around water coolers over the course of the week have taken it as a broad threat against all pilots who choose to leave service after completing their service commitments.

This is the kind of dude who has a bright future ahead in airline management, after retirement. They're always looking for "leaders" who know how to keep uppity pilots in their place with threats, abuse, retaliations and reprisals. He should definitely drop a resume on Ford & Harrison. The bonuses are fantastic!
