"I absolutely think it was the right move by the military. They should be leading the fight against sexism," said Katie Howe.

Who?

The way I read the story at the link, she was with her boss, the Congressman at the base.

I have to tell you, if the guy rose to the rank of General and said either of those things to a Congressman’s staff person, he acted improperly and foolishly.

I have dealt with congressional and executive branch review visits to military bases and frequently they are rehearsed the day before because no one wants a foolish misstep to dislocate attention from what the military wants to show the reviewing official.

If a Wing Commander or a Unit Commander did such a thing when the base commander was not at the tour, his head would roll, so the misstep shows a real problem.

She was merely one staffer with a group of about 10 others. The Congressfool wasn’t there.

In a social setting, no.

But this was a congressional staffer who obviously felt more entitled to respect than she deserved.

He made a choice, and now feels the repercussions thereof.

Meanwhile, on a hill not so-far away:

"Accept diversity or get out"

Rumor has it 5000 cadets, and folks in the local neighborhood where a certain institution is propped up as an example of character and excellence - are waiting for an apology from the "leadership" who FALSELY accused the population of a fascist hate crime in their football factory.


Are General Silvawhatizname and his Lesbian 1star cohort workin' on that or they just gonna' keep wobblin' down the quad in the progressive underwear their supporting caste of  PeeHDee clad Professor Teufelsdröckh's wove for them... and hope nobody notices?

I am 73 and I want to know why everywhere I go now women are calling ME “Baby” or “Sugar”. I work a part time job and my neighbor who is the same age as I am works with me, they call him the same things. It doesn’t make me want to sue them or anything but it just seems rather like a new fad or something.
