Patsy Schroeder.
But she was just a Congresswoman. She could push it all she wanted, she couldn’t set policy. It took one or more of the fools that we sent to the White House to do it.
No argument, but she was the first voice I remember that put it in the public eye. Keep it out there and her yammering about it keep it going. As always happens eventually a policy maker caves. Reality be damned! The “V card” is almost as good as the “race card”.
....Navy Lieutenant Kara Hultgreen....I hope her name is never forgotten.....yes, Patsy Schroeder basically threatened the Navy brass that Kara “WOULD” get her Wings of Gold and become a full-fledged Naval Aviator, despite her proven and repeated deficiencies during her flight training... unfortunately, Kara is no longer with us to discuss this matter further.....
Patsy wrecked the Navy for the Tailhook “scandal” that wasn’t. The bimbo that narc’d and went straight to Patsy, she was pissed because the male aviators apparently did not take her seriously.
