Sexual assault: Not in our Air Force

by Brig. Gen. C.K. Hyde
86th Airlift Wing commander

Sexual assault is a cancer on our Air Force and core values. The abuse

undermines trust in our Air Force. I, however, want to be clear.
Lackland Air Force Base and Basic Military Training are not the problem.
They are symptoms of attitudes and corrosive environs, which if left
unchecked, erode who we are as Airmen.

complaint or reluctance.

Airpower

by Lt. Col. Joshua Olson
37th Airlift Squadron commander

Every military service is confusing to outsiders, but none as much as
the Air Force. To outsiders, the Air Force appears entrenched in a
self-centered view of war, envisioning airpower as king with a never
ending lust for high-end aircraft and technological systems.
