Pansies? Sissies?

Sounds to me like someone's jealous.

USAF has always catered to the less 'roughing it' crowd. Hell, USAF was known for its chow halls and fancy jets- really, what did you expect? A step back to C-rats?

Frankly, it's kind of astonishing that it's taken them this long to update to something that's a bit more modern. When I was in, everything was 1940s-1950s era. hell, when the other services were getting rid of scopes and modernizing their equipment, USAF was right there with both hands out, saying, "We'll take them!" Imagine working on technology still run by tubes, and then having to go up three floors to work on computers. I'd say that the people IN the USAF have very little to say about where the money gets spent.

And if that's your criteria for 'pansy' and 'sissy'...
