Goota get the daily identity politics quota.
Why is the IRS protecting Crack Hunter? Sounds like corruption.
Target is pulling you nonsense from the shelves. 😁

Remember in the early 1800's women finally were able to compete in the Olympics. And then against one another. And of course now they lose vs Men when competing because their rights have been taken away. Then came along the women's right to vote in the 1920's. Is that going to be taken away? Maybe everyone should just let them do their thing. Stop hindering them with nonsense.

Equal rights, ok. But are we more lethal with women flying or not should be the question. If the answer is no, then let her fly supplies only. Who cares about her feelings. This is getting old. It’s all about her, the nation, it’s security, it’s functionality be damned.
Air force pilots have to be tiny. Like 5'2 or something- Tom Cruise height. It seems that women would be more suited for that than tiny little men
traditionally women were kept behind lines to care for children and babies while men fought invaders, now leftist women offer themselves to anyone who sneaks over the border.
Amelia Mary Earhart was an American aviation pioneer she was flying in the 1930's

DERPUHBLICANS NEED TO PUT AN END TO ALL THESE "WOMEN'S" RIGHTS STARTING WITH THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND LEAVING THE KITCHEN !!!
Now this is ironic, MSDNC acts like a champion for women, yet attacks the women and families who are fighting for fairness in women’s sports.
Looks like the BLM scam is finally over, the organization is set to go bankrupt 😂
Can’t wait for Brazil to field a women’s national soccer team with four men on it who then win the women’s World Cup. Let’s see how the woke feel then
LIBERALS WANT TO TURN YOUR CHILDREN TRANS
The best women pilots are trans women💙
It's not the flying we're worried about, it's parking them.
MSDNC still silent on the b l m disaster. Wonder why?

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. We want Schiff removed from congress.
Let's not as men misinterpret Bible to oppress women
Women had a good run… but clearly they belong in the kitchen barefoot & pregnant!
Did anyone else know that it was actually women who fought and won the civil war? The history books just don’t tell the story. In fact it’s why the south lost. They only let women fight in the confederacy and now the men want a redo.
Trust after all the fuss women have kicked up, she is not getting out of fighting the next war. Your coming with!!
Never forget Kara Hultgreen who was part of the Navy's push to "get more women in combat" and she ended up crashing her F-14 and killing herself. combat is for men. deal with it.
Yeah, you can depend on women to give up or disobey orders or go over to the enemy. Sorry, it’s their nature. It’s stupid to act like women in combat is a good idea. Put too many in, and you’ll lose the war.
1993 women won the right to fly in combat. 2023 that same right has males flying around them on the field and they dont like it.
MSNPC: can’t define the term “woman”.
Also MSNPC: pretends to care about women.
The vastly underrated author Marge Peircy wrote a novel about the WASPs in the 1980s. Might have been the first book. Still needs to be a major motion picture.
Sorry, Col Bjorkman, get your facts straight…the Women Pilots of the WAFS & WASP – THESE Pilots kicked down the doors, THEY opened up the doors so ya'll 30+years later could fly in combat. The Women of WAFS & WASP flew combat aircraft, not "civilian" as you claim – it's kinda hard to say that a P-38 or P-51 or P47 or P-40 or P-63 orb-17 pr B-24 or B-25 or B-26 or C-47 or C-46 or C-78 or any of the other planes they flew were "civilian"…. These Women racked up more flying time in those aircraft than combat pilots did….AND they had to be certified just like any male pilot…
Again, you're incorrect Jackie Cochran's WASP came after the Nacy Harknes Love's WAFS….and Jackie Cochran wanted to force the Army Air Force to commission the women pilots equal status to male pilots, it was she who politicized her demands, forcing the WAFS into WASP command & then demanded they all be allowed in or disband the entire outfit – Gen Hap Arnold refused & the Women of the WAFS/WASP were released….
I congratulate you on continuing the role of Women in the USAF, I will get ahold of your missive & read it….and Col., I suggest that for further history….read the books of Sarah Byrn Rickman, before you make more historical snafu's
