Just who you want making warriors.

West Point teaches officers - strategists and tacticians, not "warriors".

There's more to being an officer than being a "warrior".

[HappyJoy]

God damn, the wingnuts really do miss the 50s.

 

[theDoctorisIn]

Is she the best qualified candidate or just the best qualified female candidate?

I don't know. Why don't you tell me?

If you think she's not the best qualified, I'm sure you can supply the c.v. of someone who you feel is, right?

You don't think the Social Sciences were part of each of their educations at West Point?

Sure. Now, how big a part?

What experience or knowledge of fighting wars does a professor of social science have?

She's a social science professor. When did she ever get any experience being a warrior?

How many of the men have been the best candidate?

Every last one of them.

I imagine exponentially more than you do, Sgt. Hur Dur.
