    Shocking that our heroes are human. I guess we should ignore the great things they did and just focus on the bad.

    Have you ever read up on some of the shit Columbus did? It's not like this guy was a drunk, or some other minor fault. I don't know any humans who would do some of the shit he pulled.

    I never said we should ignore the good things they did, but we sure as hell shouldn't ignore the shitty things they did.

    He wasn't the saint Hollywood makes him out to be.

    Like so many other "heros" we learn about in the history books... Christopher Columbus comes to mind. We don't want to know about all the bad things they did, just the good!

    It took us 2.5 years CMR to get them and they are a total POS! Most of them starting falling apart w/in a few months of wear. You would be better off selling it and putting that that $$$ towards an A-2 from Pops.

    EDIT: Just checked on mine, I've never even worn it and some of the "leather" is flaking off...

    I think the comments made by Lt Gen Wyatt were forward thinking comments, hence he earned the rank of Lt Gen. The Air Force has touted the service as having a vision beyond our adversaries and sister services.

    Gen Wyatt is grasping for straws, trying to get a mission for his squadrons that are supposed to lose iron. I think it would be more wise to try to get more UAVs. It's a much better mission for the Guard.

    My air medals from OIF and OEF speak volumes.

    I guess it means you flew 20ish mission per medal...

    Unfortunately, yes. That'a all we have at Luke, and like someone mentioned earlier, I flew a Libya sortie with one last year.

    While I flew CT at home station with Sniper...that's fucked up! I would have gladly given up some training to make sure you guys had something better than LANTIRN.

    Air Force Academy Brawl Injures 27 Cadets

    DENVER — The Air Force Academy said 27 cadets were injured in a brawl during an unofficial ritual marking the first snowfall of the season.

    Six cadets were taken to an off-campus hospital after the Oct. 25 ruckus and have been released, the academy said Wednesday. The others were treated at a cadet clinic.

    The injuries included concussions, cuts and a human bite, and some cadets required stitches, Brig. Gen. Dana Born wrote in an internal email that was provided to The Associated Press and other media outlets. Academy officials confirmed the email is authentic.

    Born is dean of faculty.

    Academy officials were treating the incident as a "teachable moment," said Lt. Col. John Bryan, a school spokesman. He said he did not know of any plans to discipline cadets.

    Brig. Gen. Gregory Lengyel, the commandant of cadets, said in a statement that the brawl was unacceptable.

    Lengyel did not say how many cadets were involved but said it was a "relatively small number."

    The ritual is called "First Shirt/First Snow" and involves freshmen trying to throw cadet first sergeants – known as first shirts – into the snow.

    "This ritual has devolved to become increasingly violent, with significant numbers of cadets requiring medical care over the past two years," Born wrote in her email.

    "What used to be (freshmen) throwing the first shirt into the snow has turned into a brawl between upperclassmen defending the first sergeant and the (freshmen) trying to capture the first sergeant."

    It wasn't immediately known how many cadets were injured last year.

    "Obviously, this has gotten out of hand and cannot be repeated," Born wrote.

    Born wrote that Lengyel stopped short of banning the ritual and said cadets could propose keeping it if they found a way to avoid violence.

    The academy is located outside Colorado Springs and has about 4,000 students. Upon graduation, they are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air Force.

    Why not? Lets get some work out of that iron.

    What? We're getting use of the iron...these videos just don't make themselves!

    So the F-15C will now be able to take the role of a Predator, Reaper, MC-12, etc?
