This year's newly crowned Miss USA has both beauty and brains in spades - and has also served her country.
Miss District of Columbia Deshauna Barber will go on to compete in the Miss Universe contest as the winner of Sunday's 2016 Miss USA competition held at the T-Mobile Arena off the Las Vegas Strip.
Barber, who works as an IT analyst for the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington D.C. as well as a Logistics Commander for the 988th Quartermaster
Detachment Unit at Fort Meade, Maryland, broke down in tears as she won.
The 26-year-old, whose mother, father, brother and sister have also served in the army, claimed the title after giving a strong answer when asked about women in combat, saying that gender doesn't limit women in America.
Barber said that women are just as tough as men during the question-and-answer segment, adding: 'As a commander of my unit, I'm powerful, I am dedicated. Gender does not limit us in the United States.'
She has previously said that joining the military was the 'greatest decision' she has ever made and while she has not yet been deployed overseas, if President Obama asked her to fight in Iraq, she would jump at the opportunity.

There are rules for a post on this subject.
TTIUWP’s...!!!
Looks like a poster child for starving children in a third world country, .the only thing missing are the desperate eyes begging for a donation.
Nice skeleton!
Give that girl a sandwich!
I guess techmically she can also compete for miss black usa.
Hawaii should’ve won. I never watch this but happened to catch the end during the question segment. OMG, it was hilarious. California froze, the chick who won (God bless her for serving in military) but her last answer was incoherent. The questions were so ridiculous! They asked Hawaii if she would vote for Clinton or Trump..no joke, that was the question & the entire audience booed.
I’ll give her a manwich from the Vendome Pant’ry...
Oh & the dipshit host..can’t remember her name..just thanked the final contestants for being “so diverse”. Wow, I can’t believe I watched this! It was like watching a bad comedy but they were serious.
LOL! :D
But there is one thing a man got to realize when looking at woman like this.
She ain’t gonna cook you any dinner.
Is anybody besides me put off by 1) the political questioning, 2) the image of a "powerful" army military commander (so she stated so many times though she is only a lieutenant) as a beauty queen, and 3) how the enemy must laugh at what a joke they see the US military as?
Hawaii was much more deserving. She handled the worst question (who would you vote for, Hillary or Trump?) better than any of the others handled lesser crap questions.
Because we're BETTER than the rest of the dimwits. :)
Pretty sure I see the Emerson twins there...
Fine by me.
She can make reservations and ensure the evening starts with my favorite Scotch or Cognac...

Hey - I'll let her man the BBQ - but she better stay the eff out of the kitchen.
She can help me with the dishes, though...
Taking her out to dinner every night will get extremely expensive.
Have to do like my brother did with his wife, he became the gourmet chef.
