The Air Force has never let something silly like a war interfere with the important stuff.

Sadly, many in the Air Force won't see these issues as we see them. Unfortunately, "we" are getting marginalized every day in this Air Force and I don't see that abating anytime soon. We are mocked for our traditions, our flight suits, our jobs, the way we look, act, talk, our successes and our failures, and on and on. The Air Force, in my opinion, truly has forgotten the reason it exists and our leaders (the ones who have aided and abetted this transformation) have either remained silent or joined in on the animosity. The end result is that we have articles, written in all seriousness, about the hazards and trials of a year on the road with Tops in Blue.

Do you need someone to talk to? Do you own any firearms?

I feel lucky that the only time I have ever watched TIB was during OTS, where they made us watch them. I wasn't impressed, it was much like some kind of AF talent show. Within the following 15 years and numerous deployments, I have gone to see them exactly zero times.
The crazy part about this story, is if we published something like that about our C-130 squadron, that we were doing things tired and unsafe, they'd stand us down, even if it meant that the mission got dropped. Yet TIB continues...
