A young "up-and-coming" advisor decides it would be great propaganda to have a woman pilot lead a risky raid. It would also be great if she were a minority who led an "alternate lifestyle." Having few such "candidates" for such a mission, a "pilot" of lesser skill is selected, or even rushed through training so as to make the run. Of course, without the skill, and/or training, "pilot" panics under pressure and contributes to mission loss.

Anything here besides paranoia? There is no reason to make the initial assumption that a woman is a lesser pilot than a man.... They've been flyin' fighter planes for years now, and actually their relatively smaller frames and particulars in women's physiology make them fairly ideal for the job.

I hope this story is wrong, because I don't want to see any of our soldiers captured. I certainly don't want to see any of them insulted here either.

Or just the USAF's version of Affirmative Action..
