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!

Awesome dude, served his country with honor and deserves our thanks and respect. But he sucks as the head of NASA. But that has more to do with his boss then him.
