Uh Oh! An affirmative action hire. I wonder how many good men were passed over so she could pin her minority laurels on her chest.
By the way, why is it that women's military uniforms are so damned unattractive?

So...you're saying that it's impossible for a woman ever to beat out a man based on qualifications for any position at all?
I'm looking at a photo of an Air Force Major General (reserve) and she looks just fine in her uniform. :)
But she's a pretty thin lady, always has been (I first met her in 1983). Military uniform design, even after being adjusted for the the femininue figure, still just doesn't always look very good on fuller figured women, even younger ones, well within the weight requirements.
Of course, unlike with civilian clothing, the woman doesn't get to pick colors and cut to go with her particulars.
Just about the time I met the above MG, then a Captain, there was a male LT who looked terrible in his uniforms. Bulged all over. Senior officers would hassle him and his supervisor (her), because they thought he must surely be overweight. Finally they did a body fat measurement, and he turned out to at about 1/2 the maximum allowed % body fat. He just had muscle that looked like fat. :)
Uh Oh! An affirmative action hire.
So there aren't any good women doctors?
Believe me, the AF MG mentioned deserved both those stars, and her eagles as well. Even the most MC types in our unit agree. (She's about the only one left on active reserve status, and there weren't very many that were female back then in the dark ages). I know nothing about this woman, and I suspect niether do you. Lets she how she performs, shall we?
You mean all women’s uniforms ‘except’ WM’s ;)
