BashiChuni Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Anytime someone seriously says the word “trigger” I lose all interest in what they have to say. 1
Guardian Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Wow. Fingers strikes again. The lies that this propagates. Let’s destroy all the military airplanes on sticks or airplanes in museums because they were probably flown by someone who at one time might have said something that might possibly maybe might have been something that might maybe have been taken wrong by someone else and construed as offensive. Even though it wasn’t meant that way. Propagating this PC culture is sick. And disrespectful of those who have gone before.
Chida Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Meh. He doesn’t own the song. IOW just cuz he says it’s changed does not make it so. I doubt I’ll ever sing it again, but if I do I’ll go with the actual words and not his PC version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Homestar Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) To a friend we send a message of the brave who serve on high. Doesn’t seem very considerate of our atheist brothers and sisters, does it? Honestly, USAFA grads are probably the only ones who know the third verse. How will they replace “at ‘em boys! Give ‘er the gun!”? Edited February 29, 2020 by Homestar This is TIC obviously
dream big Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I wonder how much time Finger’s CAG spent on this worthless science project. 1
nunya Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 “Pot of gold” is Irish cultural appropriation. 1 5 1
AFsock Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 I don't care about the gender neutral stuff... but I do care that they removed the line about those *who fly*. That's some everyone's important #iserved BS. 3
Chida Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Next up! Goldfein changes AF mission to “To serve and win” you know, bc “reasons”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Pooter Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Hot take incoming: The song has always been weird and awkward. Forced group singings of said song have always been weird and awkward. I couldn't care less if they change any part of it. I hope this provides the bobs some level of short term satisfaction so they leave whatever traditions people actually still care about alone. 1 2
FLEA Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I dunno, I'm not particularly liberal, and can't stand most SJWs. But like the beard and turban topic I find myself just not giving a shit. Wtf sings the 3rd verse anyway? 3

Duck Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Well, it’s about time to update our service dress too. We’ve had the current ones for too long and it’s about to become heritage (I actually hate our service dress). Our leadership can’t fix any real problems so these low hanging fruit makes them feel good about themselves.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
Tommy Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I think it’s about time and that they should have changed the song years ago.

Hacker Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Now, all of those women who weren't joining the Air Force because of that blasted 3rd verse of the song will decide to become Airpersons. Mission-critical issue solved. Leadership at its finest. 5 2
CDAWG Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 New lyrics to the Air Force song are out. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2201395/final-changes-to-air-force-song-announced/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Runr6730 Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Not a fan on “at ‘em now” but other than that I don’t hate the changes...
drewpey Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 I look forward to acting like I know the words and mumbling incoherently in rhythm at the next official event. 5

FLEA Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Just now, Clayton Bigsby said: Not 4 verses worth I don't, lol I don't think I ever made it past the first verse sober....that's my excuse. 2
