You go Girl!!!
She certainly wins the talent competition, but Ms Congenialty may not come easy with what she’s packin.
“Be still my beating heart!” Me
“Yeah, I can fix that.” Vanessa
The question one has to ask:
Was she chosen over someone who would have been better?
No one really has to ask that.
Cheerleader #1 - So, what did you go and where did you go after HS?
AC130 GNR - I went to Iraq and Afghanistan so I could kill people, break things, and blow sh*t up.
Cheerleader #2 - Ooooo, wasn't that icky and gross?
AC130 GNR - No, it was cool...my mini-gun could put one round in every square meter of a football field in seconds. Took out an entire column of Taliban that way...nothing left that couldn't be picked up with a spoon! LOL...
(sounds of barfing from #1 and #2)
You might need to change that to Mrs. America. :(
Why, might i ask, should this question even come up?
CORRECTION: Cheerleader #1 - So, what did you do and where did you go after HS?
Dang!
She’s married...
So sad, too bad...buh bye...
...The lady is cute too.
You must be new round ear....
We know what her qualifications are......
I’d hit it, spank, film it and watch it again before going to sleep....
Well, she is an attractive woman, and I respect her for serving. I simply don’t see why she deserves any more kudos than anyone else unless we do it solely to celebrate the notion that women can do everything a man can do, be just as ruthless and violent as men, give birth to a child, and be attractive to boot.
It is the feminist fantasy, the one they push over all others.
I passed by the television where my wife was watching the local evening news, and there was a story about an improbable comeback by a high school team to win on the last play of the game. They had time to run one play to go the length of the field (maybe one second left) and it involved a fake and two laterals to succeed. Pretty improbable play, so I hesitated to watch. Lo and behold, boom, they executed the Rube Goldberg play, and won the game.
Do you know what the remainder of the broadcast segment (lasting far longer) was about?
Their kicker who was a girl.
That was what they gushed about. That she was a girl. She didn’t have to kick the tying or winning point with no time or anything like that, she just had to be the correct gender.
That play to win the game was pretty remarkable, to have been executed to perfection, as complicated as it was. But it was an afterthought.
Of course, in a world of objective standards of performance, that question would never come up. The reason why police forces switched to 9 millimeter handguns in the 70s was because girls couldn’t handle .38 Specials. LOWERED STANDARDS.
Next, they will want women on Seal teams. When the extreme end of the bell curve eliminates all but a very few kickass males. Feminists want to push girls to the front of the line. Why are there no women basketball centers in the NBA?
It’s obvious to us, but not to the politically correct crowd.
Years ago, some corporate sensitivity trainer tried to convince a group of us that women could be front line special forces.
I told her, “When you can force march 15 miles through ankle deep sand with 70 pounds of gear on your back, get back to me.”
Yep. In 2005, she was involved in a terrifying (is there any other kind?) helicopter crash in Afghanistan, in which one person was killed. The mission had been to evacuate an Afghan elections monitor who had been accidentally shot. One of the pilots was 1st Lt. Benjamin R. Scheutzow.
