The Mote in God's Eye


Dead Reckoning posted:

OK, so back in the day, there was this long standing tradition where, upon the departure of a particularly respected commander, his men would pool their money to present him with a sword or sometimes a pistol, a gift symbolizing their loyalty and esteem. The Air Force at some point decided to formalize the tradition, calling it "The Order of the Sword", and presenting a citation along with a display blade, (instead of live weapons and handguns,) and sometimes even foregoing the sword entirely. However, it was still meant to be a process driven by the enlisted men of a unit, even of it was no longer an organic expression of esteem.

Of course, as happens with these things, what was once an uncommon and distinguished honor became expected. The sort of NCOs that attach themselves remora-like to the asses of carrerist officers in hopes of being pulled to higher rank and authority will go around advocating or demanding that their men show their commander how much they love him. I know of at least one case where, after a unit bestowed swords on their previous two commanders, it became known that the lower ranks were not planning to do so for their current boss. The result was a series of angry asides and browbeating, because how dare they imply that their commandeer was not as good and respected as his predecessors.

The other thing that happened is that the Air Force officer ranks is comprised of people devoid of any sense of taste, so the swords evolved from soldier's blades, to tasteful display pieces, to that gaudy-rear end anime bullshit from the picture.

air force is by far one of the failest of the branches. say what you will about the others but at least they're not constantly making GBS threads themselves about the need for a new trillion dollar bomber program every five years.

Modern american evangelicals are more of a doomsday death cult than ISIS. So ask yourself, which branch of the military gets entrusted with enough firepower to kickstart the End Times?
