The Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force gave some speech a couple of days ago, and hyped-up....that misinformation and disinformation campaigns are currently going on....developed to "recruit members to their cause, divide our society domestically, and create rifts."
I sat and pondered upon this.
To be truthful....it's a warning that is probably twenty years too late.
To also be truthful....just a lot of BS and chatter being pumped out by various Air Force leaders.....triggering people to question things, and further divide the ranks.
Part of this statement made....suggested Artificial Intelligence was being used to produce the crap. Maybe, but you see a lot human BS created as well....if you go looking for it.
Where this is all leading to? I could easily see a point within five years where some event occurs, and in the 'blink' of an eye....you create a path where 1,000 enlisted and officers make a remarkable decision to exit the Air Force as quickly as possible. One single event....creating a path where people get out within a year....when they had long term plans before.
Social media part of the blame? Yeah, but you can throw in woke-stuff, and poor decision-making as well.
About a dozen years ago, I noticed a particular overseas base where the commander decided that the barracks would be alcohol-free (meaning no beer, wine or booze in any room). At the time, I was around the base (retiree status) and I asked one airman how things 'work' now, and he responded.....he kept his beer in his pick-up (in the barracks parking lot). He remarked....that probably was illegal in some way, and he felt stupid doing it.
Bold new world out there.
