the military is now doubling down on incompetence

The US military has been investing in incompetence since Kara Hultgreen - a pilot who would have been failed if she was male was encouraged to keep going until she crashed her plane while landing .

Her male copilot had his finger on the eject button the entire time he flew with her, otherwise he wouldn't have made it out during the fatal crash.

Netflix pitch :

KARA - her jealous white male copilot deliberately sabotaged her flight because he couldn’t cope with a strong woman pilot.

I thought this might be a joke but wow

The radar intercept officer in the rear seat, Lt. Matthew Klemish, initiated ejection for himself and Hultgreen as soon as it was apparent the aircraft was becoming uncontrollable. First in the automated ejection sequence, Klemish survived. However, by the time Hultgreen's seat fired 0.4 seconds later, the plane had exceeded 90 degrees of roll, and she was ejected downward into the water, killing her instantly.

I would say nothing of value was lost, but those planes are expensive, and Klemish probably needed quite a bit of after ejection care.

Guy had 0.4 seconds between life and death and hit the button just in time for him only. Act of God.

Every single female fighter pilot would not be in even the top 100 candidates for her spot.

That is, if she can do it well enough, then 99 men can do it better. Not to say that she might be a bad pilot or a danger; she just wasn't selected by merit.

Not only that, I'd love to see the stats on how many of the female fighter jocks leave to have a baby and never come back. Fighter pilot is massively training intensive profession. Every hours in the cockpit of a fighter jet costs tens of thousands of dollars. For her to pack up and leave at 27 because she wants a family robs the military of almost all of the return from that training.

This problem isn't unique to fighter jocks. It is also a problem with engineers, surgeons, specialist doctors etc. For a company just looking for return on investment on training and development, the more training a job requires the dumber it is to put that money into a young woman.

Perhaps at least as important is that these high training, high profile careers at the expense of a family are not making women happy. Many career women who sacrificed a family in their 20s (which is forever if we are honest) deeply regret their choices at 40 or 50.

if you're a smart business owner who has to hire women because your company got too big, hire the 40 to 50 year old women the other companies trained but left the work force to have kids 🤣

I also heard of all the cases of women getting pregnant right before deployment, giving them time off for maternity leave. I also heard of how many of them then promptly get abortions, but continue abusing the time off.

Of all those female fighter pilots that have been trained, I'd be curious to know what percentage actually faced real combat.

The most stunning part of the Hultgreen affair is that the Navy took someone who had washed out of fighter school and then failed to carrier qualify... and then put them in an A model Tomcat on a carrier.

Oh, and the problem that killed her? Part of the flight operations manual that you have to be able to write word for word from memory. She had repeatedly failed to be able to recall it during spot exams.

Is that the one who died while crashing into the water?

Yes. I wonder how long before they completely whitewash her death.

Aviators who conducted the accident investigation said Hultgreen failed to line up directly on the center line of the landing deck. Hultgreen’s last-minute attempt to correct her approach “led to reduced engine stall margin, contributing to left engine stall,” the accident report said. The document noted that the F-14A is capable of flying on one engine if the other fails.

LMAO yep.

Hey chucklefucks: what about when the F-14A Tomcat is on the back side of the power curve with gear and flaps hanging out while on approach to land on the carrier? You slithering commie fucks.

Yup, a retired F-14 pilot did a video on it a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFUXshaaMQM

Her ejection speared her head first into the waves. She didn't survive.
