No more so than "Army of One"
Each Service has its own cultures, which need to be respected. With that being said, the AF needs to take a serious look in the mirror. I am proud to be an airman, but I am not proud of our current leadership. Yes there are a few Generals that are outstanding, but many of them have becomed more concerned about their next star than anything else.
I was raised in an enlisted household and my dad always taught me that what your subordinates think of you is much more important than what your superiors think of you. You take care of your troops and they are going to take care of you. The Air Force has lost this mindset and now we are a bunch of bumbling "yes men" because we are afraid our superiors won't like what we have to say. That is why we are in the mess we are currently.
I think Gen Schwartz is the man to clean house. He is not a yes man by any stretch of the imagination. He does not appreciate people telling him what they think he wants to hear, he appreciates being told the truth, even if the truth is ugly.
