United States Air Force has a new motto

Platapus · 02-12-11, 06:52 PM

According to the Feb 2011 edition of "Still Serving" which is the retiree news letter, on page 7 there is an article on the new USAF motto.

Aim High Fly-Fight-Win.

Dunno what to think about this.

I would have preferred something about Air Superiority or Global Response or the like.

Aim High Fly-Fight-Win.

Wadda yall think?

That's a stupid motto. Fly Fight Win?

Who would be proud of saying that? Who would say that to begin with? Who do they pay to come up with this stuff? That's almost as bad as "Army of One".

Honestly, I think they'd do better if their motto was just "Air Superiority". It rolls off the tongue nicely and has a nice ring to it if shouted properly.
That's just a benchmark, though. Give me a few hours and I'll come up with some good ideas.

Sounds like the chorus to a college football fight song.

That it does - and that is its purpose. Who is the target demographic? College age kids....

Wasn't that off the very first C&C?

Could be better.

The USCG and USMC have the best mottoes in the US Military IMHO.

Mainly because they are still in Latin like they should be.

I think the Navy's motto is also in Latin.

I thought the air force motto was: "Fly planes, Get laid"

No that's the motto of the NFWS.

Too late, the Royal Navy's already using that one.
