The team leader is 1LT Angela Santana. If I had my way she'd have been on the front page of a bunch of newpapers.

"I find this article, patronizing, paternalistic, sexist, mindboggling.......and I agree with it 100 percent."

I have a sister in the military...and so do I.

Are you kidding? Disagreement is why the country is so great, respectful disagreement, or loyal opposition, is a point lost on our current generation of politicians.

Again, you can have the best of both worlds, just don't mix them. I could make an outstanding argument that the general level of the average recruit is perhaps as low as its ever been, both physically and academically.

The reason why we are without parallel militarily can be attributed almost completely to our complete domination of space. We are the only force in the world with a fully integrated C4 infrastructure. One Aegis class cruiser can coordinate an entire carrier battlegroup in either an attack on another battlegroup, or a defense of the battle group - all of that is based on satellite, encrypted GPS, etc.

One forward observer with a radio can call down air firepower on just about anything nowadays.

I'm not saying that we are fielding a bunch of morons out there, because clearly that isn't the case, but the difference in your average corporal physically and academically isn't better to the extent necessary to claim that our corporals are clearly superior, for example, than Germany's or Swedens.

OK. Now I understand. She was a key to identifing the source. She obviously did a great job. Kudos to her!

At first I thought you meant she led the Special Ops team working with the 4ID...my mistake.
