But when you're a woman in the military, it's always somebody else's fault, right Mizz Lohrenz?
This kind of affirmative-action for women gets people killed. Unfortunately we have so many liberals in government that the military has been forced to do business this way. There's no end to the stories of female enlisted and officers that are just flat-out blindingly incompetent but they get promoted because commanders are scared to pass them over, knowing that the mere accusation of sexual discrimination can end their careers.
It's not just the military, and not just gender-related AA. Racial affirmative action also will put flaming incompetents into positions they should not hold.
An engineer friend was telling me about such an AA hire who was supposed to be supervising quality control for parts destined for our sub fleet. I don't even want to think about what AA may have done to NASA and the Shuttle program.
