More victims of "Political Correctness" and the "Feminization" of the military.

--  Girls can't grow moustaches, therefore nobody should have them.

--  Cigarettes and beer are bad for you.  So "Big Mother Blue" wants an "Alcohol and Tobacco Free Air Force" supposedly by 2000 as stated back in the 1980's, but that didn't happen.

--  The .45 caliber pistol was too much for the ladies to handle, so the military adopted the Euro-sissy 9mm.

Pretty soon we'll have the Army-Navy Soccer game, and we won't keep score so nobody has to have their fragile egos damaged by losing!

SOME girls can't.

You beat me to that one.

John, you have seen these women, haven't you?

Hey, according to some cadets on CS, there are girls who can do 75 pushups in one minute, so I imagine the facial hair comes with that.   >:D

Cigarettes give you Cancer, and crushed caps look ridiculous!  Give it up folks, it's not 1941.  They should prohibit all forms of tobacco in the military to begin with.  It would cut down on TRICARE costs to the tax payers.  HELL....there are times when you can't smoke in combat, because it will give your position away.  Tobacco is the most recognizable and distinctive odor around, bet you didn't know that.

I've smelled some pretty recognizable and distinctive odors... even produced some.

And crushed caps do not look ridiculous.

Hey, you're getting pretty personal there, Kach.

I don't have a mustache.  I don't care if you have one - you'll just look like an enlisted guy, and I won't kiss you.

And I can handle a .45 just fine, thank you.

Quit blaming all the military's changes on women.  The services are adapting to changes in the societal culture at large.  I probably think much more like you than you give me credit for.

I'd rather deal with the female mustache than your recognizable and distinctive odors thank you very much.

You got a problem with girls who could put you in the hospital?

Depends on which cap you're talking about. The old khaki service cap worn in the "50 mission crush" style didn't look so bad. The blue one might look OK, but I've never tried it.

Now, if you're doing that duck butt thing with your flight cap.....

 Most smokers are probably not aware that one of the flavoring agents in cigarette tobacco is a compound called 3-methylindole or skatole; it's the stuff that puts the stench in excrement...

What's wrong with the duck butt thing?  My old squadron commander does it.  A retired USAF Lt Col fighter pilot with 91 combat missions, the Air Medal & MSM, and a litany of other decorations and accomplishments to his name.   I think he has the right to wear his flight cap how he well pleases.

I think it happens to look great.
