Many people like to refer to the new generation as a bunch of snowflakes. If it’s offensive to one person, there has to be something done about it. Welcome to the cancel culture.
However, there are instances when it’s offensive to a large group – and that’s when it’s only right for something to be done about it. The Air Force has realized that many of the emblems and morale patches are racist, sexist, or offensive in some other way.
The Air Force Secretary and Chief of Staff have signed a memo to order the review.
Squadron commanders and higher have until mid-February to sort out the offensiveness within their units. Patches, mottos, and even coins need to be examined. If it’s used to identify the unit or issue to airmen as a form of recognition, it is not to be offensive in nature.
According to the memo, the goal is to “ensure an inclusive and professional environment.” Anyone who has been in the Air Force long enough will know that there are plenty of coins and patches out there that are beyond a little offensive.
It’s about time that this happens – and it’s good that it’s being done under the Trump administration. Biden and the rest of his liberal cancel culture don’t need to worry about this. Otherwise, instead of just removing the offensive patches, they’ll remove it all. Forget about honoring those that have worked hard – let’s just give participation trophies to all.
Symbols, language, and visual representations need to be carefully inspected to ensure that they are not derogatory for people of a particular gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or religion.
One excerpt released by the Air Force identifies that the Department of the Air Force should embody inclusivity and dignity for all of the airmen and Space Force guardians. The military branch has become determined to hold themselves to the highest of standards.
Great. Now if we can just get all of the military branches on board, this may actually turn 2021 into a good year. Considering there are all sorts of stories breaking about sexual harassment and such, particularly in the Army and the Navy, it’s high time for an overhaul of what’s happening in the military.
The memo goes on to explain that the use of offensive materials is only going to ostracize team members and undermine unit cohesion. Essentially, if it stands in the way of mission readiness, it has to go.
What’s offensive and what’s not? How much is really going to change? It is likely to depend on just how liberal some of the commanding officers are. A sword could just be a sword to one squadron commander but it could be a phallic symbol to another.
Those in the military also have to think about any challenge coins they may have purchased on their own. Every military base has a store where some of the most inappropriate coins of all time can be purchased. Challenging someone with an offensive coin could be grounds for a letter of reprimand at this point.
Commanders have been told to consult with equal opportunity specialists, historians, and staff judge advocates as needed to ensure that the reviews are handled with the highest level of care.
Now, it’s just a matter of sitting back to watch just how politically correct the Air Force is going to be. They’ll likely go to the extreme, changing history in an effort to show just how un-offensive they can be.
After all, the US Department of Veteran Affairs has already had to change its motto because it was “gendered and exclusionary.” Forget that it came from Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address. They literally changed the words that came out of his mouth by changing the quote to better suit them. The only problem? They changed history because Lincoln didn’t say the quote as they’ve since written it.
Sounds like some bird colonel bucking for his first star. Think back 30 years to the aftermath of Tailhook 91 the famous Bart Simpson patch and t-shirt. Pilots and NFOs sewed the T-shirt image inside their G-1 flight jackets.
STOP IT !! STOP IT !! STOP IT !! This is a slap in the face to every veteran who gave part of their lives for this Country and to all of those GRAVES around the world. Our Veterans are homeless and not receiving the care they deserve and now some whinny snowflake wants to take away our pride of unit. Remove names of military bases , take away unit pride !! How about pink boots and flower shirts . Leaders stand up for your people, This is a brother and sisterhood that few understand. Do not take away our DIGNITY !! My oath has not expired and I will still stand against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC !!!!
I agree. Enough of this ridiculous nonsense. Leave the military’s traditions alone. Just STOP IT!!!
Hi Kate, I absolutely agree whole heartily with you assessment. I’m a Veteran of the USAF who served in the 2nd and 16th Air Force. This cancel culture is absurd and is anti American. Shame on our military so called leaders caving to these crazy snow flakes.
Killing is offensive, they should change their mission to Back Rubs.
Thank you for your service… Thank you for your words of wisdom.
I agree 100% They need to leave the Military, the Military Statues and the names of our Military bases alone! Thank you for protecting your Country and your wisdom as well!
Thank you and GOD bless you. It is about time we AMERICANS start to stand up for our country and the people who are americans. When people from other countries con to the USA they should accept our beliefs. If they want to keep theirs thats fine that is there privilage in this country,but don’t expect the citizens to give up theirs. You don’t come here and expect this country to become your country and change everything for you. If thats how you feel then you should have stayed there. We do not want to change your belifs or your religion. We belive in the american flag and the pledge of allegiance and it should be said in the schools. If your child doesn’t belive in that he doesn’t have to participate. No one makes him it is free choice,but don’t expect us to change our belifs to yours.
Totally agree with you. If you do not like who and what we are as a country, then do not come here, go somewhere else.
Damn straight. Pack your crap, which most likely you got from some liberal, democratic program free, and get the hell out of my Country. You can also take some liberal left wingers from Waynesboro, Virginia of whom I will not name specifically however they know who they are along with you. We patriotic, law abiding, tax paying citizens will not miss any of you and your lies!
wonderful, well said. I am sick of snowflakes, and guess what I am a 67 year old woman who had many members of my family in the military. Grow up people and get a sense of humor too!
Amen to that, this out and out BULL SHIT giving in to the “WOKE and Politically Correct Bull Shit”!!!!!
Well said, G. H.!! When did we ever become such wimps? I get so very, very tired of all this P.C. crap.
America and most of the world are ruled by money monster, racists, and power crazies who are IDIOTS! And the citizens support such nonsense! They must be imbeciles????
And you ARE Senile.
This is just so much bullshit…stop..stop…pleasurerising the far left. We should leave the military to manage itself. Keep the politics out of it. I would certainly hate to see the Screaming Eagle patch go simply because an enthusiastic bid watcher became offensive…again so much BS
Offensive? Pornography is offensive, naked pictures of women in public s offensive. Raping babies is offensive. Role playing rape in schools – yes, this is rude – is offensive and more. Yet they do not take that down. They promote it. and Dr. Seuss and military patches hurts peoples feelings? Man, people, I think our lives are over and it is what I have warned all of you about for about a year now. Live with it! I won’t.
Of course, the Air Force would be the first to jump in and follow this ridiculous plan. God help us if the Marines follow suit.
I agree with ALL of the prior comments. The military leadership (sic) have become a bunch of P*****S (part of female anatomy thru which children are usually born). These political AND politically motivated military MORONS,are systematically destroying over 200 years of our nations culture, heritage, and history by catering to the radical leftist “purge” agenda !!! STOP THE PURGE !!!
What is truly offensive is the many millions of unborn who are murdered by these so-called
Pro-Choice to kill nuts. How many, Doctors, Scientists, Teachers, Mothers, Fathers, children wanted by those who cannot have any, have not been given the right to life, liberty, etc.
Our enlightened public servants give millions of our tax dollars to finance it. Leave our Military Patriots and Unit ID’s alone. USA forever
Off we go into the wild, blue yonder. Can it still be wild? Or even blue? Both seem quite offensive. And yonder? Seems rather gender specific
Hmm, if the Navy adopts that policy I know of at least one VR squadron that will have to fire their official greeter.
Well said.
Grow a set and stop kissing butt of every whiney snowflake that complains about anything they don’t like…I DONT LIKE THEM!
WHAT A SAD DAY FOR MY USAF FROM YEARS PAST IN NOW BEING DRENIED THE USE OF THESE GREAT PATCHES OF VALOR FROM THE HISTORY OF THESE GREAT MEN , PAST AND PRESENT ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THESE ” BASTARD CANCEL CULTURE” FREAKS! I SEE NOW THAT OUR ONCE GREAT USAF LEADERS ARE NOW MORE IN AGREEING WITH THESE FRIGING SEWER RATS! SAD DAY FO THIS OLD AIRMAN READING THIS CRAP!
We the People seem to have a communication problem w/the hired help! These paid public servants don’t seem to want to hear or obey their constituents instructions. Maybe it’s time to go back to D.C. and remind them who they work for. They don’t tell us what “We the People” are going to do. We instruct them on what they are going to do or they will be charged w/breaking their oath of office and tyranny at which point, they will be summarily removed to prison!
They must be reminded the Constitution Says “We the People” not we the government! They are there to serve us, not themselves!!!
I find this quite interesting. Can I volunteer a few questions?
Today, the anna faris engagement ring is viewed as
an excellent image of thriving adoration. The decent variety in patterns has seen take on different styles from
yellow gold to white gold, round precious stones to oval jewels, and to one of a
kind rings that convey specific nostalgic worth.
