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.

This doesn't sound very woke!

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

This kind of rhetoric just cheapens our great military.
