Do any of you know ANYTHING about these two officers, other than their sex?


I know this:
1. Neither has combat experience.
2. Neither can stand at attention worth a damn.
3.From what I can see (Ribbon wise) that is a lot of fluff.

Any reason a trucker should take over logistics for fedex?


I thought that was an odd point as well. I recently had a discussion with a fighter pilot about fighter pilots who end up promoted to the upper ranks because they're good pilots. It doesn't mean they're good leaders; sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't.

These women and their SJW defenders can thank their CIC for the shadow he's cast over their selection.

Yeah Air Force Pilots are the truck drivers of the Air Force Hierarchy.

And the point is that she’s mentally AND physically capable of working her way up the hierarchy to this position.

If there is ever a WW3 we will be beaten to a pulp.

I think that the point he is trying to make is that being the best at one position in an organization does not necessarily equate to being the best at a higher position.

Earl Campbell was a Hell of a running back. That does NOT necessarily mean that he would have been a good head coach (or even assistant coach).

By contrast, some of the very best coaches never even got off the bench at the COLLEGE level, much less the NFL.

As if this is some grand revelation. My daughters don't need to be pandered to in order to realize they can be successful in this country.

Your daughters may not need to see this but somebody’s daughter does.

The Russians had tons of women in combat in WW2, in every theater and in every branch of the service from combat pilots to ground-pounder infantry.

I seem to recall them beating the Germans pretty badly.

That is correct. And I can acknowledge that they were attempting to burnish her credentials as well. But she has led the COVID 19 response efforts well (which have been a nightmare for anyone given the task).

Firing missiles from a bird and being on the ground during a firefight is two VERY different forms of combat. I have had birds haul my arse out of tough spots, Some of the pilots have Ice for blood in their veins (for their part of the duty. In combat you want some one who knows how to lead. Simply promoting folks (gender and race) to make the leadership colors all look better is total BS.

Edit: And the CAB compares to the CIB like Skinamax to real pern.

Of course no one has actually pointed out why they’re unqualified. Besides them being women.

I'm not referring to them specifically. But, when you see it in other venues, a thinking person has to wonder about it at least a little bit.

I've seen infantrymen who never left the TOC earn CIBs.
