If you're not cool with the fact that the legacy of American airpower is subjecting enemy nations to a crushing campaign, the outcome of which is preordained by sheer weight of numbers and technology, and then using our uncontested superiority to run up the scoreboard by dropping high explosives and fire on the helpless people on the ground, you should probably gtfo.

Just a reminder that in one night we literally burned most of the city of Tokyo to the ground and killed at least 100,000 people (probably more).

Also Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were only three of the 69 total Japanese cities we burned almost entirely to ashes.

gently caress yes it was dangerous. USAAF bomber crews suffered an attrition rate comparable to beach landing parties during WWII, but they kept going back every day because they knew the Germans and Japanese would eventually run out of either pilots or oil, while on the other side of the ocean we were cranking out 1,000 heavy bombers a month. It didn't matter how valiantly the enemy fought; they were only delaying the day that we would be dropping bombs on their soil uncontested.

At least one of those isn't our fault. Proof.

Let's all be honest. We wouldn't have complained as much about OEF/OIF if we had gotten to lay waste to every building, rock, and person in sight and then procured their best women. This is why the WW2 gen was the greatest generation. We couldn't even look at semi-nude magazine pics much less bang the best pussy the Arab world had to offer.

Not like it would have been a terribly hard sell either. "Hey baby, come with me and you can get first world healthcare, commissary privileges, and in-laws who won't throw acid in your face when we break up."

In every mx unit I've ever been in it's been expected that officers will attend the WG annual awards banquet and AF ball, both of which require mess dress. Same rule of thumb generally seems to hold true for organizations that aren't officer heavy (i.e., not ops).

FWIW I think I've still got both my butter bar and 1st Lt ones if anyone needs those.

Yeah I fell for that poo poo, had a supervisor who was gung ho about having it and going to Dining Out and I hadn't yet figured out how to deal with bullshit. I dunno, I might pull it out for my brother's wedding in a few months.

We're having a "squadron reunion dinner"/dining out, a new tradition starting right now.

I'm enjoying the slowly dawning realization in leadership that no one is super interested in flying their rear end out to the Midwest to have lovely hotel catering and cheap wine with their former coworkers.

I'm hoping this is what the upcoming "WG Dining In" is going to consist of.

Since it is a WG function as opposed to the officers/SNCOs in AMXS getting hammered in someone's backyard, I am prepared to be 100% disappointed.

Our flight does this every year during the winter, it's been awesome every year.

We also have a campout every summer and the one year I was able to go one of my coworkers built a trebuchet. We set some stuff on fire and flung it into the river, eventually we set the trebuchet on fire cause we ran out of firewood.

I've never been to one of the squadron run outings and I assume they are lame as gently caress.

Someone else I know had their going away dinner thing at Joe's Crab Shack. Also in Las Vegas.

Another person I know had their going away at Famous Dave's. Again, in Las Vegas.

I don't understand what's wrong with these people or their taste buds but I wanted to punch them all in the face.
