BTW, McSally was the lead plantiff againt the DOD order, before the Iraq war, that required that all female US military personel, when off base, even if in uniform, be required to wear the abiya..to cover their hair and faces...It caused a high stink, and was quickly repealed..
The lady's got cojones...
“The lady’s got cojones... “
No, but she had a ton of political protection. After all, she had flown 100 hours patrolling the no fly zone over Iraq - something I had done in just 2 weeks there, once. But she was female, and I was male, so she was treated with kid gloves.
Oh...and the guys I knew who flew with her were NOT impressed by her flying, either. But she was the first female fighter pilot, so she could do no wrong...
