Air Force Leader Says Troops Must Be Ready to 'Kill People and Blow Sh-- Up'

Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David Flosi, the service's top enlisted leader, didn't mince his words in an internal message to top noncommissioned officers last week.

"At a basic level, America's Air Force exists for [a very simple] capability -- 'to kill people and blow sh-- up,'" Flosi wrote in a June 19 message to the enlisted leaders, which was shared with Military.com. "I am not being bold, this is not a soundbite. It is the reality of being an airman in the profession of arms -- we must be ready."
 
Flosi's message, sent just days before Air Force pilots and crews bombed Iran's nuclear facilities in Operation Midnight Hammer, put airmen on notice to be prepared for any global conflict and even teased looming changes to airmen's long-standing physical fitness testing as a way for them to get ready.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the more business and low key approach. 

This kind of rhetoric just cheapens our great military.

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.
