Rewarding incompetence is the new thing, sort of like affirmative action on steroids... look what it did for Venezuela. lol
Affirmative Action. What a concept. The next step is the male gender wanting to get pregnant just to get the thrill of the experience. The Peter Principle.
Active Duty ping.
‘I’m Lori. Fly me.’
What airline was that? American?
And, ‘We really move our tails for you.’ Braniff?
The stews were hot too. General Lori might not make the cut.
I guess that was really sexist.
So sue me.
I wasn’t referring to her, speifically, just speculating on where we seem to be headed...
That is just the point 0 is making the best Military in the world into a meals on wheels, and a gay friendly place. My dad is turning over in his grave. WW2, put OUR flag back up on a telegraph pole with a PFC when Mac retook Corrigidor The ROCK, under sniper fire, both earned Bronze Stars, official ceremonial flag raising was 2 weeks later. The first flag is lost.
My BIL was part of Merrill’s original band, fought through to Michiana, he too is turning over in his grave, as are our Founding Fathers.
This is NOT the America I grew up in. TEARS! I pity our grands and great grands in what they will inherit!
I guess that’s the equivalent of promoting a non-line officer to head up a Naval Fleet.
She isn’t considered a line officer is she? Any other pedigree we should know other than she’s not a career combat pilot (a no biggie in my book).
Admittedly, this is from Wiki, but here’s a list of her awards:
Air Force Distinguished Service ribbon.svg Distinguished Service Medal
US Defense Superior Service Medal ribbon.svg Defense Superior Service Medal
Legion of Merit ribbon.svg Legion of Meritwith two oak leaf clusters
Bronze Star ribbon.svg Bronze Star
Defense Meritorious Service ribbon.svg Defense Meritorious Service Medal
Meritorious Service ribbon.svg Meritorious Service Medal with three oak leaf clusters
Aerial Achievement Medal ribbon.svg Aerial Achievement Medal
Air Force Commendation ribbon.svg Air Force Commendation Medal with two oak leaf clusters
US Defense Superior Service Medal ribbon.svg Defense Superior Service Medal
How did she get a Bronze Star and Legion of Merit with two oak leaf clusters? Certainly there should be some public record of those awards.
Now. Now.
There is nothing unmanly about sitting down. I have been doing it for years on the advice of my doctor. Actually he didn’t specifically tell me to sit down but he did advise me that due to the problems with my back I should avoid heavy lifting.
Can anyone show me where she is a pilot? Where on this biographical info does it say she ever flew a plane? She has no service medals from Enduring Freedom. She has never been near a combat zone. What she is is a desk officer. It is a joke and a disservice to any combat officer with the same rank this person has that she will command the Pacific Air Forces. What a damn joke.
Obama keeps putting these unqualified people in positions because he had no experience whatsover when morons put him in the White House. To him experience for the job never enters the equation. Only political correct hogwash. After her stint commanding the Pacific Air Forces look for her to be the next Air Force Chief Staff.

She shuffled paper like no one's business. Then there was that paper cut...
Probably a movie deal in the works
Papercut of Valor, where she not only saves the world several times before breakfast but single-handedly turns macho men into metrosexuals!
I want to be King & Pope.
John Kerry’s illegitimate daughter?
lol
Once again, Barry is playing politics with our security. And this will LOWER morale, too, but THAT’S BEEN BARRY’S MISSION FROM DAY ONE.
And don’t tell me that it is not done intentionally to denigrate the Armed Services.
“We really move our tails for you.”
That was from a Continental Airlines commercial. Back in the days when air travel was actually a pleasant experience.
And no TSA!
So. Whether warranted or not, how many good pilots and others will decide to retire or just hang it up because of this appointment.
She may be the best person in the history of air warfare for the job, but the fact that Obama’s trolls picked her is an automatic 6 strikes against her.
I guess we know where the attack is going to come from......
