And what exactly were all these space/missile/cyber/acquisition GOs supposed to do in the AOR?

There were also a couple MX, a Security forces, and a CE officer in that group, none with the AFESR or the GWOT-E.

I saw a lot of joint staff and Presidential White House staff cookies on those GO's, btw who is the first one with those pretty brown eyes? Most 20+ year MSgt's who deployed their butt off would have a bigger ribbon racks than these guys.

Well, the main problem here is that using ribbon racks to judge someone's entire service history is fucking retarded. Which is why we have senior leader bios.

Yep, and on that bio I check for AMs to verify credibility (that stands for "air medal" for you and the other shoes (GC) reading).

That's a pretty lazy way to verify credibility. Unless you believe all AM sorties are created equal, nonflying deployments don't exist, and AM count always perfectly reflects combat sortie count.

Standard baseops; bitch about too many people in theater that have no reason to be there, then bitch about people that have no reason to go to theater not going.

What do you want ICBM guys to do down range? There are plenty of space badges in theater, but from many services, and not more than need to be there. Why would we deploy to operate GPS, Milstar/AEHF, WGS/DSCS, ISR satellites, launch shit, etc.? We have patches, advisors, support teams, liaisons and space control units deployed. That makes up about 1% of Air Force and National space.

Everyone else is CONUS, where they belong, not getting in the way, and not wasting valuable money/resources.
