I'm curious what you guys think of this. If you had shown me this article 5 years ago, I would have eaten it up like any other beta, but after spending some time in the red pill community, I see a few things I don't like.
This woman is a sergeant, which technically means she is considered by the Army to be capable of leading other soldiers in combat. I spent 4 years in the National Guard and saw some pretty disturbing promotions to sergeant, such as the lazy-eyed company clerk claiming to be part native american and smoking peyote, or the truck driver who referred to himself as a "Texas-Alabama 'coon-ass redneck, 10-4?!" The kind of guy who would refuse to drop his cigarette or beer while having a heart attack (true story).
Of course, these guys knew they weren't combat soldiers, so when we trained with them, they would often defer to those of us who were, regardless of rank. I think I would prefer this blue-collar approach over someone who wants to run in a beauty pageant so she can "empower women to overcome stereotypes and break barriers." That's the kind of attitude that gets people killed in combat.
And don't think that she could never be in a position to lead just because she's medical. As cliche' as it sounds, anything could happen. I just hope that if "anything" does happen, she relies on training and teamwork rather than prayer.
