Maybe I’m pissed off at what the US Air Force just did because of lingering inter-service rivalries remaining during my 20 fun-filled years in the Marine Corps.

No, that’s not it.

Maybe I’m pissed off at what the US Air Force just did because as someone who’s been a part of the US Armed Forces his entire life (dependent, active duty, retiree), just knowing that I’m even remotely associated to the USAF embarrasses me.

As noted by Katie Pavlich of TownHall.com, in a very left-handed way, the Air Force just apologized to the Taliban.

But first, a bit of background – just about everyone on the planet has already heard of the Yanny vs Laurel audio illusion. So as any good marketeer assigned to the AF Recruiting Command would know, jump of YvL while it’s hot.

I can’t believe the @usairforce just deleted the best tweet ever tweeted on Twitter dot com. SMDH. pic.twitter.com/iDkGXVilB4

Well, maybe the Air Force didn’t let the terrorists win, but their commitment to killing America’s enemies certainly has been drawn into question.
