I guess that move gives new meaning to fox hole.

Many moons ago I once used "cockpit" and had one of my female troops blew a gasket.

She thought it was something sexual. I had to point out to her that is was a term to describe fighter pilots in WW1 and that a cock is a male chicken.

They were teaching them in technical school to call a cockpit the flight deck. I said that only applies to larger aircraft. All PC BS. I never stopped using cockpit.

Women pilots don’t like the term “cockpit” either.
They call it the “Box Office”.

Those fox holes, combat outposts and helicopters will then need to have ladies rooms. What’s next? Hiring the handicapped?
The ACLU is un-American, uncivil, and anti-liberty.
