And you would be correct, but he was on a roll. https://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/134025p.pdf

I really enjoyed this movie. I liked that they made those call-backs to "A New Hope". I loved the FUN of it, something sorely lacking in the prequels. I didn't think they had one-dimensional characters...you have a stormtrooper who suddenly grows a conscience, a girl with severe abandonment issues, and the main bad guy has a severely out-of-control temper. My theory is that Rey is Luke's daughter...and, being the giant nerd that I am, I will remind everyone that both Anakin and Luke were highly skilled pilots despite a lack of training and experience. Every time Rey uses the force, it happens almost immediately following Kylo Ren using the force. She's learning from him, however indirectly. There is also a fan theory that she was trained, then had a memory block put in place to hide her from the First Order...why else would she see an island when she uses the force, having only lived on a desert planet? Why else would she get those impressions from the lightsaber if she never learned how to use those powers? Also, I really hated the new Star Trek movies, and the latest looks to be the worst. They turned Star Trek into nothing more than a backdrop for a poorly-scripted action movie. Star Trek was never about the action - it was about competent, smart people solving problems through the use of their intelligence and technology.

My rebuttal to that and the "If I can't trust you to wear your uniform in exact accordance to regs, how can I trust you in the aircraft" argument, is always... If your primary worry in life is how we wear our flight suits and closely we follow AFI 69-69, or substitute in any of the countless queepy things the AF cares about these days... How can we trust you to lead us? Given you've just made it glaringly obvious you don't prioritize tactical proficiency, job performance, morale, retention, or anything relating to effective leadership. I'd even go so far as to say that attitude is often indicative of poor performance in the aircraft as well. So much of aviation is prioritization and the ability to recognize the next most immediate [and real] threat. Worrying about say... zipper height, as opposed to how effectively one does their actual job... Is akin to checking if your last four are written correctly on the flight orders as you CFIT into the side of a mountain, or the proverbial rearranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic as you plow into an iceberg.
