And.......green dot training, the idiotic OPR/EPR system, masters degrees, career broadening and service schools whether online or in residence, idiotic additional duties, PT tests that hold far more importance to commanders than tactics/threat combat training for their own aircrews, and on, and on, and on. All crap that has the square root of jack chit to do with the expertise of the employment of airpower in combat, yet somehow is more important to the military so-called "leadership" than the mission of employing aircraft as the combat systems they are, in the full spectrum of their capabilities and in full spectrum combat ops......and more importantly, actually being top notch at doing it.
There are very valid reasons pilots are jumping ship from the services, particularly the AF. And it has nothing to do with money/pay. However, at least in the AF, senior leadership is too tone deaf, too head-in-the-sand, too kool-aid drinking, too careerist focused, and frankly too ignorant, stupid and self absorbed, to "get it".
We go to war against a peer enemy, and we are going to get a serious wake up call due to our failing in our military priorities for so long.
