True. . .but she acted wrongly when she went to the IG instead of running it up the chain.
What I am talking about is she was deployed to Kuwait and objected to wearing a small cover because she was a female while off-base.
She demanded the right to wear usual civilian clothes and was denied by the wing and base commanders. Instead of taking it up the chain, or even going to the IG, she took it outside the Air Force, went to the media and congress.
Thing is, we had no status of forces agreement and that meant we had no exemptions for military from local laws regarding women in the military. The State Department did but the military did not.
She demanded special treatment and was turned down and she whined out of school. . .all for herself. . .she was NOT respected very much by Hawg Drivers to begin with, and after what she did was held in even lower esteem.
Politics aside, she didn't piss off too many people up the chain of command. She got a squadron command out of it, A-10s no less.
I have met her and she is very dynamic, unashamedly patriotic and very much a no bull$#!t type. I would have been happy to have her as a CO.
