#19 The F-14 had bad engines at that time. The plane rolled when she punched out too late.

“Put those pilots in charge of flying democrats everywhere they go”

Post of the day.

Double down and make all leftist professors fly “diversity airlines”.

The good news is that putting unqualified people behind the stick is self correcting.

“America’s enemies won’t let you cry your way to a second chance in an aerial dogfight.”

America’s enemies are not playing these stupid race guilt games.

The competent will inherit the Earth.

Diversity is death.

I meant for US political purposes of Balkanizing groups by race, ethnicity, and perversion type. Not to mention religion and class envy.

““The order was changed by verbal order of the 47 OG/CC to restructure the class with ‘anybody non-white,’” on Aug. 10, the officers wrote.” The commanding officer should be investigated by Congress. And if found culpable of racism should be expelled from the military.

A friend’s daughter flew A-10’s in the Idaho Air Guard (he flew F-16’s in the guard and retired as a commercial international pilot). He said she loved putting down the BRRRRRRRTTTT on the Taliban.

Yes, and now it’s gone totally off the rails.

It will proceed at pace until the entire US Military, not just the USAF, is weakened and ineffective to the point of a Keystone Cops film....................THAT is the OBJECTIVE!......

Social engineering of any sort rarely works. That’s because you actually have to change the culture.

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” ― George Orwell, 1984 “We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.” ― George Orwell, 1984 “Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain.” ― George Orwell, 1984 "Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain."― George Orwell, 1984

The original Class 21-15 make-up was to mirror the Census ratios. If the Census indicated the population was 50-55% female, more than likely the prospective female pilots were overwhelmingly or exclusively white.

Is that why they had to amend it to be a “non-white” class?
