- Wasn''t Dubya in the Air Farce before he went AWOL? No I''m wrong he was in the Air National Guard which has even less discipline than the Air Farce.

- maybe they''re over-worked, or maybe their shifts are too long - or maybe it''s just plain boredom - who knows?

Well said. And the reason. Business majors. The AF thinks playing like its a Business is more important that being a combat force. - Reply to this comment

- The concept that a launch by Russians was on the way,& now that no one would be left alive in the States was sure,these guys would now destroy all in Russia was lunacy anyway -better they should sleep in "both" nations.

thats why the other branches call them the ''chair force''- Reply to this comment
- Hmmm...
In every state and terriroty of the United States, there are many thousands of firefighters, on duty, but asleep, every night.
However, they are ready to respond to any emergency.
In some firehouses, there will be no calls, so the firefighters actually get to sleep.
In other firehouses there could be several or more calls, and the firefighters will not be able to sleep.
So, please pardon me if I say it is a big Y A W N, if U.S. Air Force missile control officers are sleeping while on duty.
What matters is that they would have been able and ready to respond during an alert. That is the basic bottom line. Had there been an emergency, they would have responded, promptly, just like any firefighter. - Reply to this comment
- Simple case of cause and effect.
Yet another serious indication, symptom, red warning flag, alarm bell, bright signal flare, writing on the wall, and clue that an ever increasing grossly elite egotism senior leadership culture problem within Air Force is taking a debilitating toll.
For years USAF top brass has increasingly been dangerously delusional and way out of step with Air Force working troops and other branches of US military.
Supercilious Air Force senior leadership has been seriously adrift, misguiding this service further away from genuine war value added priorities, common sense, safety, and effective military leadership influence.
Instead of diligently working toward better, down and dirty tactical and special operation air to ground battlefield support for US or coalition forces; Air Force senior leaders have pompously, marched to their own self serving drum beat.
Instead of respecting and taking care of their people, Air Force senior leaders have arrogantly validated and pursued self serving narrowed focused and imprudent agendas at all costs. Ultimate impact, debilitating fallout for this power gone mad is all negative.
Brazenly, against wishes of DOD and Congress; AF top guns in a sneaky side step move robbed money from personnel budgets to bolster tax dollars officially denied for hoards of fancier new big price tag with all shiny bells and whistles fighter planes.
Nuclear Surety, safety, and morale have all severely suffered. - Reply to this comment

- Typical air force. Gravy.. Ya ever seen their 15 minute mile? Its 15 minutes plus or minus the rest''a the hour. Ever see a cop on teevee that weighs 400 pounds and ask yerself: "What does that guy do?" Well you''d be doubly surprised about the air force. Its a place fer special people..

Naw, we should do what we SHOULDA done 16 years ago.
ROLL A TANK UP PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE AND HAVE A COUP D''ETAT! The Pentagon could have been running the country better for the past 16 years, and we''d be A MUCH STRONGER NATION FOR IT, I tell you what.
Oil crisis? What oil crisis??? By now WE''D OWN IRAQ, KUWAIT, AND MOST OF SAUDI ARABIA.
This whole democratic government experiment just isn''t working out. What we need is a solid military government. It''d do you good.
LOL! JUST KIDDING! OF COURSE WE WOULDN''T REALLY DO THAT. Why, we LOVE the commander-in-chief. Even if the next one is named Obama. IT''S ALL JUST A JOKE. I''M JOKING, OF COURSE!!!
No I''m not.
KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!
Or, am I?
Well, no worries. You''ll find out when you wake up tomorrow morning. IF you wake up... - Reply to this comment

I think you may be right. - Reply to this comment
- Yes, now our President is a former drug addict who went AWOL from the National Guard to run for election, and the President before him was a draft dodger who NEVER HAD ANY MILITARY SERVICE AT ALL.
It''''s only fitting that today''''s military is a reflection of its commanders-in-chief...
