Proud Air Force Sister
October 6, 2014
This is the newest military slogan I have seen on a t-shirt. But is there anything to be proud of if your brother is in the Air Force? He willingly will bomb any country on command, and may have even done so already. “Ashamed Air Force Sister” would be a better; that is, more accurate, t-shirt. Why not wear a shirt that says “Proud Plumber Sister” or “Proud Cook Sister”? Sad to say, you would be laughed at. But when people see the shirt that says “Proud Air Force Sister” they think, wow, how lucky. Americans sure are crazy military lovers.
