Trans or not, we just read the story of the New Zealand naval commander who ran her country's premier, material assent aground. We also have seen where in Cal. an all female adm., within the fire dept, burnt up half the state...AND witnessed these goons' half-assed, smug, summary lack of feeling for their failures!
It's about the drive to meet ‘gender quota rules’ that are not workable ...certainly unworkable in life and death professions where a single oversight however minute will cost lives.
This angers me to the limit. 67+ lives were lost here and I have to think of it as murder...yes I'm angry
Where is it written that innocent people must make themselves a gift to this ideological sadism!!!????
ANOTHER THING...Trump KNEW this from the beginning of his first speech and it's why he was so direct in his response by including DEI failures in his language! Right away I thought ... “He has ALL the facts and we'll get them later.” At that time and since anyone wants to challenge him about it can FO!
America is fed up with bearing the cost for this deological joyride!
And another thing. Trump didn’t have to fight the military brass to get to the bottom of this......Hegseth got it for him....pronto!

I am setting aside the DEI crap for now. It is a cancer and your points about New Zealand and LAFD are spot on. However...
No one can convince me that there is any good reason for this training to be happening in an area where there is commercial air traffic within 100 - 200 feet vertical separation. This is INSANE.
Just listen to some of the causals being bandied about:
Pressure setting mistake 29.79" should have been 29.97" - oops
BH altimeter calibration not done prior to flight - oops
NVG being worn / not worn - oops
So while we try and make sense out of DC / FAA / military stupidity, there are probably still dead figure skaters strapped to their seats at the bottom of the icy Potomac waiting to be recovered.
Of course I want the root cause to see the light of day. But please stop this madness of +/- 100 feet tolerance with peoples lives.
Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here.
