I’ve had the opposite experience. Older airmen are surprisingly left-leaning. I knew one that became socialist after spending time on the Wall. Marines and Rangers tended to be chuddy.
Not gonna lie, my opinion isn’t well researched. Purely on vibes, I struggle to imagine that Amerikan airforce pilots are “left-leaning”, in the Hexbear sense. Maybe libs or socdems?
Anyhow this isn’t a struggle session as I have no fecking clue about any of this.
Different time. Was offered jail or service when caught with weed. He wasn’t carpet bombings kids/wasn’t a pilot and while we were still in the middle east he served in more of an air support and refueling roles in Germany. Still not good by any means but I found it interesting that being exposed to the Soviets helped him quickly dismiss propaganda he was fed at home.
Mostly just that a lot of it was lies; most of the things he heard from his superiors and other soldiers at least. He said it just was “a different way of life, one better for the future I’d think”
Interestingly enough, he was a hardcore hippie/Beatles lover that didn’t turn out complete shitlib. Not saying he’s a communist either; but he doesn’t revile at Lenin or Stalin and respected the Soviet Union. That’s quite a bit for a soldier back then.
I bet they had this kind of trouble even during Ea-Nasir time too. Hell, it’s even quite possible that the grift came to light during the weapon manufacture.
Can you get drafted into the airforce? Dropping bombs on your own military base would be a pretty good way to go
Judging by America’s war on Vietnam, no you’d have to volunteer and they don’t even let volunteer enlisted pukes fly planes.
To add to this, it seems like they only let super chuds fly the planes. I’ve never met someone in the airforce that I didn’t hate immediately.

Yeah, but not as pilot.
Fill the jet with pee pee instead of Jet fuel
I bet US MIC thought of that before.
their jets on pee pee 😳?
No, of selling substandard fuel to military.
Becoming the Ea-Nasir of jet fuel
I bet they had this kind of trouble even during Ea-Nasir time too. Hell, it’s even quite possible that the grift came to light during the weapon manufacture.
Imagine putting sugar in a billion dollars worth of jet fuel tanks lmao
