“I voted for her because I will never vote democrat.”
And that is your right and I respect your decision. She may have won, too.
But what she did in the Middle East really chapped my butt back when I was deployed there half of each year, and I knew a lot of A-10 pilots who felt the same way. For me, I could not vote for her and I would not vote for Barber...so I left that office blank.
May I ask what she did wrong?
The story going around the army at the time was that she was fighting the burka. That was it. Yes, there was contention about women in the military and ‘follow orders even if you don’t like them’ but most people were fine when she won.
Especially the females. Covering up was irritating a lot of them and not because it’s sexist. It inhibits movement and is unsafe.
I have heard of no one from the military, especially since she was absent on the A-10 issue, that supports her.
I am glad I did not have to take that choice. Berber stepped up even before MCShame.
I also respect your decision, at least you just didn’t vote. She isn’t the person to hold the office, but I don’t want barber back either.
