Air Force changes service anthem to gender-neutral lyrics
 
By - Associated Press - Thursday, February 27, 2020

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The U.S. Air Force changed lyrics in its service anthem by dropping gender references that exclude women.

The change announced Thursday by the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. David Goldfein, is designed to make the service friendlier to women, The Gazette reports.

“Our song must reflect our history, the inspiring service and accomplishments of all who’ve served, and the rich diversity that makes today’s Air Force indisputably the strongest and most capable in the world,” Goldfein wrote in a message to airmen, cadets and academy alumni.

The Navy might take a lesson from this and stop using the gender specific pronouns she/her when talking about a ship and change the term to they/them.  Anchors aweigh my boys could also use the they/them alternative. 000hehehehe

Meanwhile, the suicide rate continues to climb and this is what is considered "important" within the halls of the Pentagon and media.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
