Forgive my ignorance,but is a flight surgeon an MD?

Women do belong in the service as doctors,lawyers etc,but not in actual combat roles,working side by side with men,IMHO.

As far as being a dinosaur,maybe I am,but I feel that women's roles were more easily defined years ago,and some jobs are just better for men only.

A Flight Surgeon is an MD with advanced training in Aerospace medicine, preventive medicine, and public health. In addition, we went through airborne training, land survival, water survival, arctic survival, jungle survival, and in some cases desert survival. We were trained in emergency medical procedures under all circumstances.

There were females under fire in WW II, and every war or hostile action since. The young female captain saved me in Honduras in 1985. Females weren't just behind the lines they were there with me.

It appears that even a fair number of "conservatives" on this forum have been Clintonized. Too bad
