I read some of the comments, particularly the one (near the top) where the backstory was given. I think viewing the video first would help put some context to it.
Shameful. People can't act like adults especially when it's showtime. Shameful.

I'm not sure why you think that this has anything to do with "Today's Air Force"...

Did you read the comments? USAF has been enduring a culture shift that was markedly accelerated when Gen McPeak transitioned to the "Bus Driver" style uniforms. They also called their chain of command leaders, "managers".

I read most of the comments. I can't say for certain I read them all.
What did the comments have to do with the style of uniform and whether command leaders are called "managers"?

My brother was Air Force '68-'72. He was a bomb loader in Thailand (at a time when the US denied having any uniformed personnel in Thailand). They didn't wear uniforms in-country in case of observation. But they wore uniforms everywhere else.
He said the general attitude was that the Air Force was really just a bunch of civilians in uniform any way.
I'm not exactly sure why I brought that up. That is just what I think of when I think of the Air Force. I guess calling their officers "manager" sort of backs him up.
