Commerce considers labeling Arab Americans a disadvantaged minority
One wonders...in 20 years, whites are projected to become a minority in America as the Hispanic population continues to grow. Once we become a minority, will we be eligible for quotas at universities and special consideration for jobs?

What will PA do when we run out of "first" minorities to put through UPT?

Latest Movies
Sure...two fictional movies can't be compared. Got it. I don't think the Red Dawn movie is going to be good, but I think the nationality of the invaders will be the least of its problems.

Latest Movies
So a movie about aliens invading Earth, and Earth responding with a billionaire playboy using military-grade technology, a giant green monster, a character from Norse mythology, and a 90-year-old WWII vet is believable...but a North Korean invasion isn't?

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
Oh, I understand it. I understand that doing that in the AOR will get you sat down and potentially sent home. However, I think everyone in the squadron has done it in a sim at some point or another. We can't all be perfect, especially the new guys just starting out. Once they make that mistake, then it's easy to fix.

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
I'd say the RPA guys are engaging in combat, just as much as the guy who launches a TLAM from the boat or a CALCM from a BUFF. I don't think claiming RPA guys are "more at risk" than guys flying in country is a valid argument on that path, though.

You may want to make sure there aren't any Desert Storm medals lurking in there while you're at it.

Drone Pilots: We Don’t Get No Respect
So if he's not in less danger than his counterparts flying manned aircraft, we're all at risk all the time at home, right? I wonder if I can start getting air medals for flying from a "combat zone" on CT sorties.

Bibles removed from Air Force checklist
I'm not sure I see how removing religious material equates to crafting legislation specifically referencing religious material.

Bibles removed from Air Force checklist
Or we can make a huge deal out of a non-issue. The Air Force isn't removing the bibles from the rooms. It's not preventing new bibles from being placed. All the Air Force has done is remove the "check for a bible in the drawer" step from the cleaning lady's checklist.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
We were briefed that this "0-1-3" has worked at other wings, that it's not meant to be a binding contract, and that the idea is to get people thinking "well, I've exceeded the "0-1-3" guidelines, I'm not driving home". The idea is to give people a red line to assess their status against, rather than "Eh, I don't feel that drunk".

Secret Service prostitution bust spreads to military
I thought it was just the latter, but if they have to pay to get laid, perhaps both. I'm not the one who implied single-seat guys have a need to hire hookers.

Secret Service prostitution bust spreads to military
That would make sense, since most single-seaters are incapable of normal social interaction.
