It’s sad how the Air Force forgets their history. Tom cruise is their most successful pilot of all time and he couldn’t even get in today because he’s white
Is someone going to tell him?

Silly goose. Tom is the NAVY’s best pilot. Air Force wishes they had maverick.

When I was in the AF they worried and reprimanded about my hair length. Now I would be able to wear a dress.

So did they pass their check ride and made it to drop night?

Your tax dollars at work. We don't need the modern equivalent of the Tuskegee airmen.
The Tuskegee airmen were excellent pilots. Maybe learn some history first before making a lousy comparison.

I didn’t take his post as derogatory towards the Tuskegee Airmen but that we already have a completely integrated military and have for years. Minorities and women have been allowed to fly for the military for generations. The reason why military aviation is white male dominated is because white men volunteer for that duty at a much higher rate than women and minorities do. The same goes for special operations forces and even conventional combat units. Minor and women just don’t volunteer for those duties at nearly the rate white men do.

Simple math:

DOD identified a more extreme lack of racial and gender diversity among so-called “rated” officers, like pilots, who are most often promoted to top leadership positions.
Can we ever acknowledge that there are differences between certain backgrounds? We go through all of these charades to ignore the elephant in the room.
The Air Force is around 15% black. That's 70,000ish active duty personnel.
They don't move up the chain like whites because they aren't as good as their white counterparts.
Why don't the Pelicans have more white players?

I wonder why they use race instead of breaking it down by socio-economic background and whether there was a nuclear family upbringing…

George Floyd situation leading to less qualified pilots in the Air Force is just about as stupid as it gets.
