Air Force women

If the Space Force fails to flounder, as such a peace and democracy-defying idea should, some of the strong women of the Air Force should be well-positioned to lead it, if they are granted admittance.

From recent S-R pieces, I see women earning respect of brass and other airmen by plowing through red tape and tradition to mitigate gender bias in the wild blue yonder of the ditty dear to macho cadre of once-glamorous airborne assassins. These intrepid women should be enlisted in the cause of elimination military sexual trauma in our vaunted system of mass destruction.

The Air Force Academy would be a good starting place as feeble attempts at wrist-slapping and education have yet to curb male impunity for cadet offenders. If they can make headway under the misogynist-in-chief, who rates them only on his arm-candy scale, they should be put in charge of a project for world peace, and be given the option of being called something other than “Airman.”
