I retired from the USAF in 1994. Sometime in the late '80s, I started hearing officers say that Air Force Regulations were merely suggestions. I repeatedly asked them, "If that's true, how is it that I can be court marshaled for violating a "suggestion"?" Not once did I get an answer.

I seem to remember Colin Powell making similar statements many years ago.

Yeah, he did. And destroyed any support he may have had from deplorable people.

I was an early supporter of Colin Powell. Then he started opening his mouth...

A quote from the same article linked by the OP:
“It’s a combination of laziness and people being overworked,” a former Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent told Fox News.
Maybe if they disciplined and/or fired the lazy ones, then the rest of them might not be so overworked!!! :banghead:
As we all know about 80% of the actual work is done by 20% of the employees in the industry.
I do not think the Government administration is doing better in regards to those statistics.
In other words, it may actually hard to fire or punish the wrong individual.
I am not saying all are lazy or bad but it just takes one bad mushroom to spoil the soup.

The founding fathers thought it was insane for a free country to have a standing army.
