Air Force to allow uniformed members to wear turbans, hijabs, beards in new dress code update, officials say
Just crazy… This is political correctness gone insane. To the non-military population, this may seem like progress. However for those of us who have actually served in uniform, this is exactly the kind of thing that undermines the whole point of even having a uniform. If they make an exception for this reason, then it opens the door for others to say, “well, what about me and what’s important to me?” And before long, the whole notion of “uniform” ceases to exist. The whole point of having a uniform, is …well…uniformity; not individuality. And, we have a 100% volunteer military. If wearing the uniform runs contrary to your beliefs, then work in an industry or sector that is more in keeping with those beliefs. The military isn’t for everyone. Thank God this crap wasn’t happening when I was in…and I suspect it’ll only continue to get worse.

Air Force Special Operations Establish Role in ISIL Fight
An interesting public admission.. If the USAF Special Operators are openly admitting being in the fight, I suspect that a good chunk of the 1,500+ troops already on the ground (so yes, there ARE “boots on the ground” despite what the President is saying to the contrary) are from the special ops community representing the other services (i.e. Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, etc.). Of course there are intel folks, and logistical personnel. But, I’d imagine the majority are special operators of various specialties.
