With the incompetent female colonels that I have seen in my job, I find it hard to believe that they're being promoted on merit. In today's military, if a female officer is passed over for promotion, it's automatically sexual discrimination.

Where there's smoke there's fire, makes you wonder what else is going on in our beloved country that most of us hope just isn't there. As the decline accelerates and there is no firm attempt to stop it, we're going to have to make some heavy personal decisions. Rome took around a thousand years to rise/decline, hi-tech America? It's on the slope and at the bottom is a cesspool.
