No, what's nonsensical/illogical is the notion that women should
have it both ways. If a tiny nation such as Israel which is constantly
fighting to protect itself, doesn't use women in combat, the only
reason the U.S. has women filling combat positions in airplanes is
to fulfill equal opportunity mandates as prescribed by politicians.

Then there was that memorable morning at Stansted. We were socked in.
Mission
cancelled. Ceiling not zero, but damned near zero. Suddenly we heard the
unmistakeable sound of twin R-2800's overhead, Men rushed out to light the
firepots to burn off some of the fog. Then we saw it, A B-26 on final
coming
in down and dirty, smooth as glass. It kissed the runway with hardly a
squeal
and braked to a stop. Out climbed a slip of a girl, a WAAF ferry pilot
delivering a replacement B-26 to us. She had more hours than most of our
pilots. And she was amazing.

So, what's your point? That women are fine aviators? Ancient news.

Don't ever tell me women can't fly

Huh? I've trained women pilots to fly, have YOU?

or give me that "political" crap.

Is that the best argument for women in combat you can come up with?

The question now is will you ever be half the pilot she
was?

C'mon down to Tampa and I'd be more than happy to take you up...
