United States Air Force has a new motto
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.

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"

Typical AF identity crises BS. Considering half, maybe even over half of the AF has nothing to do with planes, this isn't just stupid, it smacks of McPeak stupid. edit: Problem with the AF is the powers that be insist on abandoning all things traditional. The only tradition the AF has, is change, and LOTS of it. Individual units within the AF can sometimes retain a sense of time honored tradition (See Red Horse), but the branch as a whole does not. That has be one of my biggest beefs with the Air Force as a branch, because I place a high value on tradition. |

I always thought it was short sighted to give the Air Force their own branch. It sort of made sense post WW2 with the belief that wars would be fought with nuclear weapons only and that the infantryman was obsolete, but long term they should have remained a part of the Army.
