She’s disabled from a Humvee roll over from an IUD near miss in Iraq. She’s going to school. She is conservative and I’m sure she is monitoring the situation through friends who are still active duty.
Friggin Colonels and flag officers playing PC politician to advance their careers is one major problem.
IED , not IUD
IED, not IUD. Sorry.
Consider the source. The problem is not female officer per se, but the substandard training and lack of performance standards. My own experience is Army, but that experience told me that women was treated differently at each step of the way. I knew female officers who were as good as any I ever knew in every respect except physical strength, and they were assigned to branches where that was not essential (not true these days). Most were average as were most male officers. But, they also made up a larger proportion of substandard officers. That difference was noticeable, but was ignored and in fact, actively suppressed. Navy deficiencies in surface warfare officers, especially in seamanship, applied to all junior officers, but was more apparent among female officers. It was only a question of time before it showed up in mission performance.
“Calling doctor Freud...”
So, in the Ranger class that contained two women, not a single man failed?
women not men.
You’re right. I was 23 she was 21. Lol
Of course. I knew what you meant. Sorry to know that.
Thanks.
The ranger class had 2 women, only?
There were not men in the class?
Never heard or seen of ANY ranger class with 2 people in it before
Quit trolling
It’s in previous explanations of what happened. I think it is described as they were not speaking to one another or something like that.
And the military cannot define my Biblical concept of success, and what you so aptly described not that, but is apparently all too much the case in the Navy, and tragically so.
That was not the only article I have read on the subject. Expand your horizons.
And no, I was not speculating.
Utterly damning. I would ask what the hell has happened to my Navy but I know perfectly well what the hell has happened to it. It was only a matter of time before it started getting people killed, and between this fiasco and the McCain we have 17 young sailors dead. This sort of job is a meritocracy, and if it isn’t supported as such by command it becomes it when people die. The Navy has been systematically poisoned by people with priorities other than operational effectiveness, and unfortunately some of them are wearing uniforms, and even more unfortunately they aren’t the ones doing the dying.
Are you suggesting that the military is obligated to adopt your Biblical concept of success? In fact they cannot do so. We do not have an established religion in this country, but we certainly do have the freedom to exercise our own religious views.
