I agree...I've about beat that horse to death here.

She was the first woman "qualified" to fly carrier correct?

No. First female F-14 pilot but there have been women carrier pilots in the past.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Your opinion has repeatedly been shown to be factually inaccurate. Failing to admit that you are wrong is extremely childish. Your gender/occupation is irrelevant to the subject at hand.

On the first day, we took control of Iraqi radio. Now, we need to pray that the Special Forces in Baghdad can take control of the television. Once accomplished, we need to broadcast the photos of Saddam on the stretcher!

HI ya sweetie....hope all is well with you and yours....beutiful day here in Houston...how is Illinois?

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Along with the later dismissed woman (whose name I can't recall...Lorenzo??) and who has since filed suit against the Navy for not being given carrier status?

Carey Lohrenz was in the same class as Hultgreen and she made it to the fleet as well flying F-14s onto carriers. Fortunately she was removed from carrier aviation due to poor performance before she ended up like Hultgreen.

BTW...what is your view on women in combat. You seem to be better up to speed on the facts than I.

They don't belong there.

TankerKC is attempting to fixate on the truth, which you seem intent on denying. Remaining comments sef censored.
