President Barack Obama plans to nominate Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson to be the head of U.S. Northern Command — which would make her the first female combatant commander, Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced Friday.

She may be the most qualified. Unfortunately the way Obama has done things she’ll never get the credit she deserves if that’s the case.

Quotas, or whatever you want to call them, hurt the top individuals in the group you are trying to advance since they don’t get credit they deserve. As well as the lower-rate individuals who are not up to the job they are give. As well as the entire group which is associated with the job done by the low-raters who fail. But it “feels good” at the time.

She'd never get the credit she deserves regardless.

Except women are pushed forward and most of them are promoted earlier than they normally should be and with less experience and ability than the men...

at least that’s how it has been in the USAF...

same with black men or women...

not all are Allen Wests...

Fortunately there are more five-star flag officers in the Air Force than there are full bird Colonels in the Marines...

You’re probably right since it’s government.

But I have been in some corporate environments in 30+ years where everyone knows the minorities deserve their positions and promotions.

And what I’ve read about Trump going back to the 80’s it sounds like he’s put women in high positions and enabled them to succeed and get respect (without doing the job for them as a show)
