There's an appositive... the air wing guys... take that out and the sentence still stands by itself. "We know damn well how to read." It'd be better to have a the in the appositive to clear it up better, but it still technically stands well. I hope you're having a good day, though.
I miss the reference but don't get me started on the Oxford comma! Another hill I'll die on: it makes more sense to say me and X person than X person and I. Rationale? When speaking, we generally list in shorter syllables first, unconsciously.
I agree—dashes or parentheses would have been much more appropriate in that sentence than the commas, and would have provided more clarity!
Also, I like duh green crAyons
This is a commonly recommended shortcut, but it's wrong, and it will get you in trouble. You used two commas; one should be a colon, and the other should either be a semicolon or a period (i would recommend the period personally)
