Non-Pilot to be New Commander of US Air Force in Pacific (And no combat experience)

The POS’s destruction of the U.S. military continues, and Congress will not do a thing to stop it. Why? Because the new commander-nominee is a woman.

If a woman wants to be Commander of USAF Pacific, all she has to do is to be a career combat pilot. But Lori Robinson is not. Her nomination is rank politics — the Left’s ideology of Affirmative Action over competence and training.

Instead of achievement or performance criteria, the U. S. military under Obama is making personnel decisions based on political criteria of “diversity.”

——————————————————-

The latest case in point:

Although all previous Air Force combatant commanders in active large theaters of operation — the Pacific, Europe and Central Command — have been combat pilots, for the first time a non-career pilot has been nominated to be Commander of the U. S. Air Force in the Pacific.

From the incompetent Hagel as Sec of Defense, to major theater commanders that are not combat pilots, how low can the US military go with Obozo as commander-in-chief. So once again, a non-pilot with no combat experience whatsover will be the next Commander of the Pacific Air Command.

We know this crowd, If you sit to pee you get 25 extra points, and if you are black as well you move to the front of the line. Everyone else needs to demonstrate and document experience and qualification.

What worries me is that if we get a Republican President, there won’t be a housecleaning.

She is a tube rat from the AWACs community, but she only has 900 flight hours. I am guessing at least 200 of that would be in basic flight officer and platform training. In that community one would think she would have thousands of hours. She has less than an average junior officer would have after their first tour.

Are we sure she has all of her female parts? Just sayin’, you never know these days with our military.

Over 30 years on active duty. Looking at her bio, less than 3 years of that was operational. That explains only 900 hours of flight time. That kind of operational deficit would keep you from making O-5 in the Navy.

I was going to give her the benefit of the doubt until I saw only 900 flight hours and only one overseas tour. What a joke

Merit and competence are irrelevant today.

The only question is “Will you help Obama destroy America?”
