Jeffery Hall -- the guy who created this comic --  is a contractor working in Iraq (he's also a staff sergeant in the Tennessee Air Guard). His comic, called "Downrange," is based on his daily Operation Iraqi Freedom experiences and is published weekly in the Stars and Stripes and Scimitar (a military newspaper in Iraq) . More info... In an e-mail to CHairforce.com, Hall said his cartoons normally pick on the U.S. Army.  He said Army personnel still give him positive feedback.  However, Hall said when this cartoon was published, Airmen "had a cow."  Could it be he hit a soft spot?
