Diversity trumps qualification

[Katzndogz]

She's a bureaucrat. That's what her experience is in, bureaucracy. She was promoted because she is a woman and it satisfies the diversity niche. Competency is not considered.

The Air Force is SO much more than fighter pilots. This is much ado about nothing.

The raison d'être of the Air Force is the flying mission.

Would you put an electrician in charge of a group of plumbers?

Obama picks non-pilot to head Air Force in Pacific

Doesn't make her not qualified, guy.

Yeah, it pretty much does.

How 'bout it, Jake? You claim to have been in the Army. Would you pick a supply officer to command an artillery brigade?

Manufactured issue...Teaperism!

typical far right sexism

I don't even think it is sexism...I think it is just a teaper attack on Obama. They think that criticizing everything he does without rational thought is garnering them support. Little do they realize, outside of their little bubble, Americans aren't buying it. They perceive their nonsense as racism and misogyny.

Have you served in the military?

Logistics is a major component of the Air Force.

An immaterial deflection: daveman is no more qualified to discredit an appointment of a senior officer than any other career NCO.

I'm no fan of the Tea Party as I'm not a racist, but where did the term "Teaper" come from and why do people here use it? It sounds incredibly low-brow.

Tea Partier = Teaper.


What is low brow about that?

It sounds like something a chyld would say. An uneducated, racist chyld. Just use "Tea Partier," or at least "Teabagger."

This is a great point. Why don't we have more electricians in charge of plumbers?

Classist discrimination even bleeds into the upper echelons of management. Disgusting.

I agree! Tyybyggyr and Tyy Pyrtyyr do sound a lot more clyssy.

I have also, on occasion, used "Teabigot" rather than "Teabagger". Have fun with it.
