Lawman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Surely there is some part of you that wants to take a polygraph, if only to impress people on the internet.I do t k ow why you would need that or all this other access.According to him all you need to do is grow up "next too" an Army base and you'll know all the details of how Attack Aviation works and it's shortcomings.That's how despite no actual experience I know how to assemble a GMC Sierra pickup. There was a GM plant in the town I grew up in.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 This stuff is falling exactly in line with the title of the post. I bet a lot of shit would get worked out if we were physically in the same place with some beers and zero retribution. People are afraid to fight but not afraid to post anonymous stuff. And regardless of which side you're on, we all let it happen. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 All bitches, dudes, bros, FGOs and wiggers go back to your corners. cantfly is in time out, redirect all bitching towards the AF.I wonder what his new screen name is going to be. It'll be easy enough to ID him. He'll be the guy liking his own posts and disliking anyone who offends his tender sensibilities.

Guest Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Back to the topic, I think the AF really needs to stop picking future GOs on the basis of early "excellence." There are probably a handful of bros who land SOS DG, but I imagine they're in the minority and probably most punch out and never make it to any position of influence to enact change. We keep promoting yes-men who would never dare to challenge the status quo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think evidence of risking one's professional advancement to do the right thing should be required. Looking into flag officers generally regarded as "great:" As a captain, MacArthur had his first Medal of Honor denied because his boss didn't know what he was doing. As a captain, Eisenhower was threatened with court martial for aggressively advocating tank-centric tactics that looked a lot like Germany's successful blitzkreig scheme. Nimitz was court-martialed as an ensign for running his ship aground. George Washington gave advice to his general in the French and Indian War that essentially got him killed. Mistakes and risks are what make a leader better, and should be forgiven (when they aren't crimes, of course), and rewarded (when appropriate). Most importantly, they should be learned from. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic, but do people really think MacArthur was a great general? He let basically the entire Far East Air Force get destroyed on the ground by the Japanese, ten hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He won victories later in the war, sure, but they were victories won with numerical superiority and an overwhelming material advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point isn't how great he was, but that the system promoted him despite an earlier "blemish." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickhistory Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I learned something today about baseops during the recent shenigans on this thread prior to them being wiped: You can only give four (4) feedbacks on any one (1) day. I was going to town on the buffoonery of the NSA expert and got the notification. Thanks, baseops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more of a passive observer these days, but said offender aggravated enough people to get the thread reported to all the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
