      outdoor event, full of new AF Academy graduates - officers. They probably don’t want to torpedo their brand new commissions by starting beef with the guy one clot away from being their commander in chief.

          goddamnit how many times do I have to explain it? they’re not enlisted. they were cadets; some may have been prior service or branch transfers but they’re commissioned officers at this point.

          your point has merit - they shouldn’t have taken a commission in the USAF knowing who the CINC is.

          brave enough to devote years at a service academy, then seek to serve in the military.

          yeah I know it doesn’t mean shit to you.
