The Air Force Is Using Taxpayer Money To Fly Service Members To Branch ‘Pride’ Events


The U.S. Air Force has authorized Air and Space Force commanders to use taxpayer money to cover the travel costs for service members seeking to attend the branch’s upcoming “pride” events.

On June 1, Marianne Malizia, the director of the Air Force’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, issued a memo notifying branch commanders of several upcoming LGBT-related events in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Department of the Air Force (DAF). According to the memo, Air and Space Force commanders will be permitted to utilize “unit funds” to pay for service members under their command to “travel to, and participate in, this year’s DAF Pride events if approved by their individual supervisory authority.”

It truly is good Vs evil.

Decades ago, "permissive orders" were - operations permitting - leave authorization (not counted against one's leave balance) but the service members still had to pay their way (travel, room, board, fees, etc) to unofficial functions such as promotion ceremonies, Chiefs' Call, reunions, etc.

This appeasement destroys morale and military readiness.
