From Wiki:
McSally graduated from St. Mary Academy - Bay View and then the United States Air Force Academy in 1988. She earned a Master's degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
She earned her wings at Laughlin AFB, Texas and was initially assigned as a First Assignment Instructor Pilot (FAIP) in the T-37. She was selected for Lead-in Fighter Training (LIFT) in 1993, completed the Replacement Training Unit for the A-10 Thunderbolt II, was assigned to an operational A-10 squadron and was deployed to Kuwait in January 1995. During that deployment, she flew combat patrol over Iraq under Operation Southern Watch, enforcing the no-fly zone. In 2000, she reported to Joint Task Force Southwest Asia (JTF-SWA) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for a temporary assignment in support of Operation Southern Watch.
In July 2004, she took command of the A-10 equipped 354th Fighter Squadron, and was subsequently deployed to Afghanistan under Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, where she employed weapons in combat for the first time. In 2005, McSally and her squadron were awarded the David C. Shilling Award, given by the Air Force Association for the best aerospace contribution to national defense.
clearly a broad for our times.
Yeah like flying a U.S. Air Force fighter aircraft (or maneuvering a schooner) over the last thirty years has been like being in combat. I laugh.
Try humping an 80lb ruck and getting shot at for a living.
Piss off McSally.
Has anyone watched the Video? Thinking She might want to get her eyes checked before I would be comfortable flying with Her. lol
It seems like when that is brought up, there are howls of outrage by the feminists.
Women have no business being near combat-period.
The retired colonel, albeit graduate of USAFA, is part of the syndrome infecting our military and what’s wrong with it. Clowns like this do not belong in Congress, and it’s a sad state of affairs what has come out of the military.
If Rick Santorum becomes President Santorum, this woman should think twice about threatening to kick him in the “jimmy” or anywhere else. She might have the Secret Service knocking on her door.
Also, can you imagine the uproar if a male running for Congress threatened to kick Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters or Hillary Clinton in their va-jay-jay in response to a remark he considered offensive? All hell would break lose.
Some of you may remember the incident with Chinese pilot Wang Wei (known as wrong Wei) in April 2001. He was buzzing a US EP-3E near the Chinese coast, got too close, and struck it. The US plane went out of control and was plunging toward the ocean. The only reason the pilot, Shane Osborn, was able to save himself and the 23 members of his crew was UPPER BODY STRENGTH. Unfortunately, women do not have such body strength. This woman may have been a very good pilot, but had she been in control that day, there would have been 24 dead Americans.

Hmm... way to prove that women are just as tough as the men, get all bent out of shape over a guy delicately expressing his views in a polite way.
Whether you agree with her or not... she has every right to her opinion.
Women shouldn’t be in combat, period...For numerous reasons mentioned thousands of times.
In fact, there are plenty of men that can pilot that same aircraft and do it better, and have better chances of survival/escape going down behind enemy lines.
PC and leftist idiotic thinking, gets people killed all the time.
Shouldn’t she be making a sandwich or something?
Just the emotional response you’d expect from a woman.
“Female Combat Pilot Wants to Kick Santorum ‘in the Jimmy’ for Remarks on Women”
If she tries to kick a guy in the “jimmies”, she’ll feel the sting of the “pimp hand”.
There is an issue before the woman in combat thing and it is: How many better men were pushed aside so that a political goal of woman in certain jobs be attained?
I understand that proud woman anyway.
Santorum’s remark was not very clever !
Some women have more guts than many men.
As a catholic i think that some “catholics” also need a brain instead of whining
I watched it...
I looked up kick him in the jimmy(jimmies) in the always perverted urban dictionary....
it refered to something a Dyke Gym teacher would say.
that being said...she seems conservative on most issues.
we will see.
