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.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

... like me.

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.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
