The Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. Michael Moseley, has written a letter to airmen to thank them for their sacrifices in the Global War on Terror and to tell them they are doing “awesome work.” Noting that the service has been at war for more than 15 years—since 1991’s Gulf War 1 through 12 years of no-fly zone patrols over Iraq to today. He says today’s airmen are “the most combat experienced, battle-hardened” since World War II.
President Donald Trump’s nominee for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff touted his highly unusual background for the job as an asset and reaffirmed his commitment to stay apolitical during a confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee on April 1.
