Girls Can Fly Planes, too!

[DGS49]

NY Times dragged for trying to fact-check Hegseth’s praise of ‘our boys’ flying B-2 bombers — by pointing out women can pilot planes, too

In a Sunday news conference, Hegseth heaped praise on President Trump and the military campaign that saw six “bunker buster” bombs dropped on key nuclear sites in the country.

So SecDef Hegseth remarked that "our boys" flew the B2 mission that's on everyone mind these days, but the NYT respectfully disagrees because women pilots COULD HAVE been flying those planes.

What?

They could have been flown by monkees, too. But they weren't.

Is it possible to disagree without disagreeing? Is it possible to be disagreeable while making no point at all?

NYT, how far you have fallen.

Maybe he should have said guys. Maybe he meant it like guys.
Everywhere in public, mixed groups are referred to as guys by waiters, etc. “Can I get you anything else, guys?”

I'm with the Times on this.

Let the women fly, I say!

This plane was flown by a woman…

Just more idiotic division

That's the wrong way to land a plane.

And everywhere in public women respond "Well this GAL would like . . .". I have never been in a mixed group where the women didn't object to being referred to as "guys".
