Why isn’t the Air Force Academy focused on training cadets to, say, win wars? I know, that’s a “white supremacist” concept now. It’s clear what is coming for this ridiculous woke Air Force, should it ever have to engage in actual battle with a real enemy. Our pilots will ask theirs what their pronouns are, the hilarity will begin.
“Don’t Say Terrorist: Air Force Academy Teaches Cadets ‘Inclusive Language,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 22, 2022:
The United States Air Force Academy is training its cadets to “use inclusive language” that bars them from calling people “terrorists” or using male and female identifiers, according to an official presentation being used by the elite military school and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The presentation, titled, “Diversity & Inclusion: What It Is, Why We Care, & What We Can Do,” takes cadets through a series of exercises meant to eradicate their use of gender pronouns and reinforce the need for inclusive language that avoids “stereotypes, bias, and microaggressions.” One portion of the presentation tells cadets to avoid language such as “you guys,” “terrorists,” and “colorblind.”
The seminar is part of a larger push by the U.S. military and its supporting institutions to foster what it describes as a more culturally inclusive environment, an effort that critics say is part of a woke cultural agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party’s far-left flank. The U.S. Pacific Air Forces, the branch tasked with confronting China, recently ordered its senior leaders and commanders to stop using gender pronouns in written formats. The U.S. Navy recently published a video instructing its sailors on proper gender pronouns. The Army also mandates gender identity training and trains officers on when to offer subordinates gender-transition surgery.
The Air Force Academy’s seminar mirrors many of the efforts taking place in the military and also at U.S. college campuses across the country. One portion of the course instructs cadets on the proper way to use “inclusive language” in everyday scenarios. The presentation materials say that “diversity and inclusion” are “critical to developing warfighters prepared to lead the” U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force (USSF) “with character.”
An Academy spokesman told the Free Beacon this “conversation” with cadets was developed as part of its “Diversity & Inclusion Cadet Leadership Program.”…
Certain words should be avoided at all costs, according to the presentation. “Not The ‘N’, ‘R’, or ‘F’ words, nor ‘Terrorist’ (for nationality; it happened),” one slide states….

And yet…. the president and his party are using the phrase ‘domestic terrorists’ with impunity.
CogitoErgoSum says
I think it is like the N word. It depends on who is saying it and to whom it is said. I think also as long as you prefix the T word with the modifier “domestic” it’s okay.

So true.
somehistory says
they have labeled the country of russia as a “sponsor of terror.” But their airmen er, airpersons. will not be called “terrorists.” Nor will their guys on the ground…er, humans on the ground.
This is the kind of nonsense that gets people killed.
CogitoErgoSum says
What need is there for a military when any of our enemies can just walk right into our country any day of the week and receive a handshake, a cell phone and free room and board? They only thing the invaders have to worry about is not to call anyone a bad word or to misgender somebody by using the wrong pronouns. If they commit that crime Joe Biden will have the FBI pay them a visit to set their thinking right … maybe even take away thier free cell phone.
somehistory says
If they can’t identify if one is male or female, how will they have ny idea hat a person is hoping to “transition” and needs surgery to do that?
Officer: Hey, you, do you need help getting your chest larger, like a doctor’s help?
Enlisted person: Now, sir, why would I need that? I know I’ve gained some weight and the daily weed hasn’t helped, but why do you ask if I need a doctor? Is that a joke, sir?
Officer: Well, son, er, airperson, I thought you look like you are wearing a bra, undergarment, over=the shoulder, boulder holder. Excuse me, er, airperson. I think I’m going to be ill

The nuts and loons are now in charge of government, education, the MSM and big business. To Hell with all of them.
And unless sensible people actively fight back against this corrosive shit it will continue. Being in the right but silent is no longer an option.
Make enemies. We need to make a lot of enemies. Soon like.

Spot on, Wellington.
A quote attributed to Victor Hugo (and also to Winston Churchill) says “You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
Going along to get along is not working…
Dave says
What about shaking hands? Not too firm but still firm enough to leave open the possibility that the person might be a masculine person of vagina, or a feminine person of penis.

Just nuts–especially the latter. So military “persons” are not supposed to say they have a problem with terrorism?
Mark Spahn says
So “terrorists” is disallowed? How about “terroristas”? Or is that to anti-feminist? Maybe we should says “terroristas y terroristos”. Or maybe “terrorist@s”.
Mark Spahn says
Correction: “to anti-feminist” –> “too anti-feminist”

Meanwhile, China eats our lunch—-
James Lincoln says
So what word does the US Air Force Academy recommend that we call a terrorist?
The late Brigadier General Charles Elwood Yeager could be horrified if he knew what has happened to his Air Force…
