I’m just looking at it from a detached point of view but I find them covering up who she was and then admitting she was a former White House social media staffer screams “strings were pulled to get her this job.”

The military picking and choosing which soldiers’ names to release just heightened suspicion of what the frick was going on.


What string were pulled to get her into flight school given how competitive it has historically been to get into that program?

She joined the military under the first Trump administration. Was that DEI?


Joining?

No.

Advancement?

Who knows.

Again, she was an aide for Biden.

It certainly makes her being the beneficiary of DEI policy a plausible scenario.

She was like a mile off course and 100 ft higher than she was suppose to be. One should think that a well trained soldier that earned it wouldn’t be so far off. Also her proximity to the Biden admin adds to that speculation.

Terrible tragedy that should have never happened if we had leadership that understood mission readiness and how to properly evaluate real risk instead of toxic masculinity and bias.

That was the Military’s fault. When you release the 2 males names and hold off on not releasing the female pilot you are going to cause suspicion. They should of released all names at the same time


Do you think maybe the family asked them to delay until the family could tell all family and friends so they wouldn't hear about it on TV

An actual woman can still be a DEI hire.


I’m acquaintances with a renowned female C5 Air Force pilot.

She is impressive AF as a person and a pilot. Nothing but respect for her. She’s also super based and her husband is a badass dude as well. I cannot express how awesome of a family quality of people they are. They are the people you want in the military in any role whatsoever.


But she’s still a DEI hire and she would acknowledge that while being grateful for the opportunity. DEI doesn’t mean hiring a garbage person because of their race, gender, or sexuality. If just means that one of those probably gave them preferential treatment.

I think Nancy Mace is impressive… but her inclusion in the citadel is still DEI.

Everything about the Biden admin was incompetent, which spread like the plague to everyone that touched it.

The only "evidence" to point to that (according to this board) is that she was a woman so there's no way she could've been the most qualified


JFC. DEI is one crappy stance but there are females that can and have served as pilots commercial and in the military. Are you (assuming you are a male, a pilot? How about the dude at Dollar General cleaning the aisles? I guess you and he would be immediately be better qualified to become a pilot, just because you are males? I am MAGA AF, but your attitude/stance is not helping the cause at all.

Well the third guy is just sitting in the back.

But since you’re talking so confidently about this you probably already knew that.

You claimed for more than a year Trump was incompetent and was gonna lose, what’s your point? You’re no better then if you’re making that argument.

Were they promoted because of their female status?


"There are females that have served, therefore it's bad to suggest this person was promoted because they're female".


Stupid logic.


She was close enough in qualifications to leap frog other applicants due to her connections. That's probably how this went

Her ultimate competency or her actual contributions to the military were completely irrelevant because she was a diversity data point.


68 people died for the DEI data point.

Like I've been telling you, this is just as stupid as if a prog comes in here and says her 2 male co-pilots were promoted due to racism/sexism when there was a minority/woman who would've performed better than they did.

You need to work on your logic puzzles. "DEI promotes some women unjustly. The pilot was a woman. Therefore she was promoted unjustly" is not sound reasoning

Jeez, I am not talking about an individual, and this particular female may have been a DEI placement. And that crap needs to end. What I am saying is that that there is not a clear dividing line outside of DEI practices regarding the competency of males and females regarding flying aircraft, if they go through training equally. JFC.
