Are we supposed to be happy about this? Turns out the first female Navy combat pilot was not well trained and died in a crash. Diversity strikes again.
The remarks at Fox are about 2/3 in agreement with yours. There are very few kudos to this young woman accomplishing this.
The pioneers frequently die. Lots of men died developing heavier-than-air aircraft 120 years ago. I’m sure we will have inordinately high deaths of women for a while, too.
But, on balance, I’m happy to see women can pursue these flight combat dreams of theirs and I doubt it will seriously degrade our combat ability. Given the difficulties of recruiting top-notch fighter pilots, this may improve our abilities.
Women in front-line combat roles is an entirely different matter, of course.
Possible that it is too strenuous for a woman?
