    Civilians in military uniforms: My Current Perspective of the Air Force Academy

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 13, 2023 47:12


    I just returned from my 40th class reunion at the Air Force Academy. The reunion was great but the state of the academy makes me wonder where the standards went. Beards, long hair on men and women and zero table manners are just a few of the issues I discuss in this highly anticipated episode. The new commandant says he's a standards guy. Can he change the slipping academy standards or is it too late to save this institution created to train and develop military leaders? For those who were at USAFA in September, what did you see and feel or do you even care? Let me know if I'm correct in my assessment or way off base. Don't be afraid to join the discussion.

    In this episode I discuss with Amy Haywood, a military spouse, how the military is working to take control of your children. The school system and the medical apparatus want your children to make their own decisions about all sorts of things while keeping you in the dark. Listen to a father in the Navy be told the Navy wants to circumvent his rights as a parent. This is an important and informative episode you need to hear and share with family and friends who are in the military. As Amy says, we need to fight as if our children's lives depend on it.

    In this episode, I provide some hard-hitting information concerning the transgender movement, and other weird movements as they infiltrate society. The United States Army is accepting the transgender movement. Our churches, are accepting the transgender movement. The people that are suffering, or that are going to suffer from this are our children. We need to do more to protect our children and protect our minds from this nonsense and speak up and share the truth. I ask in this hard-hitting episode to make this make sense to me. Reach out to me if you can make this make sense to me. This is a controversial episode so make sure you have your diapers on and be ready to debate this important topic. As a sidenote, you may notice some imperfections in this podcast. This was supposed to be a rehearsal as I prepared to do the final podcast, but the raw energy I felt while listening to this just lead me to go ahead and release this rehearsal podcast as the final product.
