Seeing the all women crew makes me cringe. First, they may be very capable pilots & flight crew members, then again maybe not. Thanks to the PC army you never know.

Having women fly combat aircraft is now PC driven. The military wants to see bottom line numbers. Flight training is difficult & wash out rates are high for the average man. Women are given several more chances than men who would have otherwise washed out.

This is first hand and examples are numerous..

I realize that does happen, but generalizations make me rather angry.

I believe that I was well-qualified for the work I did in the military, with a 99th percentile AFQT score. ;)

The NOW freaks insist on it. When a planeload U.S. women get shot down, taken prisoner, and kept as sex slaves by those filthy barbarians (who will probably videotape it).....only then will (some) people begin to question this incredibly stupid policy.
