The affirmative action head of NASA will be taking the bows.

Let's see, the NASA administrator is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, entered the Marine Corps, flew over 100 combat missions in Vietnam and Laos in A-6 Intruders, went through the US Navy's Test Pilot School, commaned a Marine Air Wing, retired as a Major General from the Marine Corps with over 30 years. He piloted two Space Shuttle flights, commanded two more.

If affirmative action means putting a former Marine who flew a lot of combat missions over Vietnam and who has a helluva lot of command experience as a Marine and even as an astronaut, then I'm all for it!
