It is critical to keep Air Force history and its many storied leaders alive and well. Otherwise the culture will morph into something no one likes and no one will remember…with any fondness. Like now for example. The only leader I liked was CQ Brown for charging up the AF to actually change its focus away from bombing cavemen to fighting real threats like China. Rebuilding our war fighting capability is extremely important to deterring leaders like Xi and their small circles of yes men from making stupid decisions like Putin. Brown did just that.
Thanks for engaging with this. I find occasionally I am urged to keep the Olds discussion alive. He will be lost to history unless we keep that flame going.
