AF apologizes for tweet
The Air Force tweeted the above message to their followers and then deleted it and apologized, for some reason.
We apologize for the earlier tweet regarding the A-10. It was made in poor taste and we are addressing it internally. It has since been removed.

Own that shit, Air Force.
Thanks to Bobo for the tip.

No need to apologize AF, the Taliban are animals!!
that live in shitholes
ANIMALS?!! Why are you talking about all immigrants like that!!!
If Pulousi and many of the D-rats have their way, we will be importing Taliban slamonazis ricky tic. After all, they are the Moon god’s children too.
Why should they apologize? It’s the Freakin’ TALIBAN! I know Barry loved them, but screw those guys! I agree, Own it Air Force!
Yes, but we are talking about the Air Force. They are about as close to Haight-Ashbury as you get in the military.
Can’t actually talk about killing folks or it might scare people (i.e. our own). Perhaps the rank and file agrees with talking about using a bad-ass piece of gear like the A-10 to blow these assholes’ bodies into small and gory chunks but the leadership may as well put Nasty Pelosi in charge.
You’re a f’n idiot.
I know that I am speaking ill of your service, but am I wrong that of all the services they are most leftward leaning as an organization? Just take the many cases we hear about political correctness gone amuck there.

Yes, I may have indulged in a little hyperbole, but the current crop of leadership, if not leading leftward leaning policies, certainly isn’t stopping subordinates from enacting them.
I’ll never claim to NOT being am f’n idiot, but I’ll ask you how, exactly, I am, if you are going to make the claim.
The Air Force is the only service that has a corporate culture, like a civilian business, rather than a military warrior ethos. I live near Whiteman, and although the civilians are impressed with them, I know better from many, many experiences. Not sure why they pussed out on this instance.
Of course the people who do things like run military Twitter accounts are over-sensitive, politically correct vaginas.
Let them be. The killers, and those capable of such, are needed in the actual fight.
I think they need like minded folks at the Twitter keyboard as well.
What needed an apology?
Nothing. But it’s the “new, sensitive, PC” Air Force.
Or at least some of the leadership still is.
Meanwhile, DOD has recalled all posters created during 1940-1945.
The anti-A-10 crowd at the Pentagon got butthurt, didn’t they?
The Air Force loses grenades, a machine gun and misplaces nuck war heads (all in my home sate). The most important thing they have to do though is to apologize for a funny tweet. Strange times we live in. I always wondered about the AF.
The only apology needed is for the apology.
No apology is ever needed for speaking the truth. Every once in a while, an apology can be appropriate for having told the truth inartfully or in an unnecessarily hurtful way, but not for having said the truth.
What’s next? Will the AF apologize for killing the SOBs?
Since I don’t think the A-10s are there for a tea party, isn’t that pretty much what they’ve done?
That tweet was so bad ass right up until the apology.
But did the Taliban targets actually HEAR the BRRRRRT before their shit was in the wind?
PC running amok.
Da fuk? Now we”re worried about offending people we’re trying to kill?
Original tweet should be brought back. Mattis, where are you?
Remember in the Clinton era, Billy and staff were horrified at the “comments” Ordies were chalking on bombs being readied for use, and demanded the practice be stopped?
Same stupid shit.
Mattis is probably having a long, one-side “conversation” with the AF CoS that is starting with, “WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOUR BALLS?”
Does this hasty apology for doing the job properly warrant a smackdown from me?
What a bunch of ninnyhammers!!!! No wonder people call it the Air Farce.
Completely agree with you ALL! WTF is there to apologize for?
I seem to remember laughing my ass off when I saw the meme showing the B-52’s with the American Airlines “AA” of the tail. I think it said something like now providing direct flights to Afghanistan.
Put the Tweet back up Air Force!
The B52 pic with airline markings was -awesome-.
Someone go find the Public Affairs gelding that withdrew that tweet and hand him a floor buffer. Find the original poster and give him a couple of energy drinks and the keyboard.
“Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At ’em boys, Give ‘er the gun! (Give ‘er the gun now!)
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one helluva roar!
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing’ll stop the U.S. Air Force!”
Tweet that along with the original tweet.
What the fuck?
It isn’t like they drew a sky penis…
🙂

“Only in the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart, will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be.”
LtGen Adolf Galland, Luftwaffe
If it were up to AF PC Police, A-10 attack runs would be followed by “We’re So Sorry” leaflet drops.
With Lowe’s coupons for rebuilding.
Or the A-10’s would show up two days after the “Here we come” leaflet drop!
Someone left his balls in his wife’s purse and his brain in the cupboard above the kitchen sink.
The “apology” is ridiculous but if I were a twitter type it would be difficult for me to resist making a snarky comment like “Oh, so now the AF is proud of the A-10 it’s been trying to get rid of for 20 years because it’s not ‘sexy’ enough?”
I thought the A10 was SUPPOSED to break shit and mess shit up? WTF is the Air Force worried about what the freaking goat dating Taliban and their butt buddies think (or if they’re offended) for? This PC crap is way out of control… Hey, AF PIO MAYBE instead of policing your tweets for political correctness you might want to keep better track of your machine guns, ammo and nukes – here’s a hint, losing track of them will trash your career a whole lot surer than an offended goat fucker hiding in a cave in the ‘stans. Just a little something to think about.
The apology just gave the original tweet that much more exposure. Another misread by the Air Force- if they had just ignored it, the tweet would have faded into obscurity on its own.
That was actually funny. Then they ruined it by being major pussies.
The USAF apologized for putting the fear of God into terrorists. That is one fuqued-up approach to warring. Here’s a news item for PR Asshole who apologized. The USAF blows up people and things up or out of the sky. It’s mission is to win. It’s something no one should apologize for, even a pencil pusher whose greatest risk is a paper cut and traffic congestion to/from the Pentagon.
The Air Force training squadron here has “Fly, Fight, Win” on the side of its building. Maybe they should change it to Fly, Fight, Apologize.
Boy, it’s going to take some time to get those Obama Ass Kissers out of the Chain of Command.
The AF should have said “Hey, Goat Fuckers. Our call to prayer sounds like BRRRRRRRT”
Its the Air Force.
The Palestinians and many of our “allies” apologize right after they kill or help our people. Seems the least we can do…
Hey. This has a few good things in it. My favorite is actually off the article’s topic of hating the Air Force It’s a quote from Curtis LeMay: “The Soviets are our adversary. Our enemy is the Navy.”

This is where it all started to go wrong, when we started apologizing for being America. War machines kill people and break things. What the fuck, do they think we tickle the Taliban into submission?
Well, eight years of King Putt, and it looks like the progs have completely pussified large portions of our military. But then who knew we had military twitter-twats.
