And the lunacy continues from our military, folks.

I particularly love when a non-infantry officer comes in and commands an infantry division. All in the name of progress. Forward!

A brigadier general is set to make history this month by becoming the first woman to lead a U.S. Army infantry division.
The California National Guard’s 40th Infantry Division – which has fought in major world conflicts dating back to World War I – will make Brig. Gen. Laura Yeager its new commander during a ceremony on June 29.
quote:
Yeager is currently the commander of Joint Task Force North, U.S. Northern Command at Ft. Bliss in Texas, an organization the military says is tasked with supporting “our nation’s federal law enforcement agencies in the identification and interdiction of suspected transnational criminal organizations’ activities conducted within and along the approaches to the continental United States.”
quote:
Yeager, who is also a former Black Hawk helicopter aeromedical evacuation pilot, was deployed to Iraq in 2011 as the deputy commander of the California National Guard’s 40th Aviation Brigade, it said.
She will be taking over command from the retiring Maj. Gen. Mark
“As a female, I have found the military to provide opportunities and benefits unmatched by any profession,” Yeager said in a 2016 interview with the California National Guard before her promotion to brigadier general.
quote:
“Clearly, females are in the minority within the military, yet in every assignment I have held, my mostly male peers, subordinates and superiors, have supported me, treated me with respect, coached, mentored and advised me,” she added. “At the same time, I have been inspired by the incredibly strong and amazing women I have served with and for.”
The California National Guard says the 40th Infantry Division Yeager soon will be leading has served in World Wars I and II, the Korean War, and in other locations like Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo.

I wonder if she’s related to Chuck Yeager?

That's gonna be so gross when she's on her period.

Couldn’t find anything on that.

This is really not that unusual for an officer from a different MOS to command a unit with another MOS. There’s a lot more in that division than just infantry soldiers.
She seems qualified to me. Why does this have to be an issue? If a man had the same qualifications, would it be?
The best C/O I ever had was a black female.

Because women don’t belong in the military, they don’t belong in any combat arms, and they damn sure don’t belong commanding an infantry platoon, much less an infantry division, period.

I’m glad you had a good admin C/O.

Who cares? In the military, you receive orders, shite rolls down hill.
What does it matter if it's coming from a man, woman, banana or a slug?
Do your job.

If she couldn’t do or hasn’t ever done my job, I don’t want her commanding me.

Y’all act like she is going to be charging into battle with these men.
She will have as much to do with the actual soldiers as Rodger Goodell has with rookies in training camp.
