I have hard time believing that all 4 women are the best Navy SEALS (Which I am sure NONE OF THEM ARE), Fighter Pilots, Naval Ship or Sub Commander.

You are aware that this is an award for enlisted, and that only officers command ships or subs or fly aircraft? Or at least you would be aware if you a: had read the story, or b: ever served in the navy.

First, I served in the United States Marines from 1992 to 1997. Second, what is the percentage of enlisted women to men? I know women make up 15% of the entire Navy staff. Thus some are officers and would not be counted for this reward. Now getting back to my original point....

You honestly believe all 4 of these women deserve their awards when the enlisted women in the Navy is less than 15% of the entire enlisted/NCO ranks? Give me a freaking break! Anyone with half brain will knows this.

Like I said all this is going to divide the Navy from within its own ranks. It's political nonsense B.S. ? I guess the Navy is more worried about sucking up Obama’s a$$ than performance from its ranks? They just want to PRETEND they are fair when everyone (including these 4 women) know its ALL BULL$HIT!
