I have to question why a mother of three was sent by the CIA to lead the team.
The hard truth is that it is a part of the job. Had it been a father of three it would have still stunk. When you work in that field, it is an occupational hazard - one accepted by anyone who takes the job, be they male or female. This is war and the correct response is "get mad, then get even." Triple the drone strikes and wipe out any and all credible targets.
RochesterFan, I think you missed my point, which I likely didn't clearly explain. I question the CIA's decision to send a "mother of three" (read woman) to lead a CIA team in a war zone. Unlike fathers, mothers tend to worry more about their children, and perhaps they worry more when they're far away from home. Was she the toughest and most qualified member of the agency? IMO, some jobs are best left to men, and this was one of those jobs.
I agree with Onyx, you miss the point. We are in a bare-knuckles, back-stabbing, throat-slitting theater of war in that terrorist haven. “Mommy’s” are not the folks to lead that effort! You need former combat Marines, SEALs and Green Berets, not MOMMY’S for crying out loud!
You might as well have one NFL team go off the deep end and proclaim that henceforth, their players should “accurately reflect” the gender of their city.
How would that team half composed of MOMMYS fare against the Steelers or Colts? It sounds absurd, but it’s not as absurd as MOMMYS leading a CIA team in a muslim terrorist combat zone, due to PC-uber-alles mania!
It’s called “REALITY!”
