She is a Retired AF Colonel who flew A-10’s in Combat. As a former Infantryman, I can attest that the A-10 was one of our best friends and I salute her for her service and wish her well in the Senate.
I salute her service just like anyone who was in the military.
But, that has nothing to do with how they are politically. McCain was in the military. Kerry, Algore etc.
“She” isn’t an A-10.
That the A-10 (or some of its pilots) is a good airplane, or that “it” saved you and many others in combat does not make “her” either a good officer, a good pilot, a good person, a competent person, nor a competent politician.
That “she” is a former military pilot does mean that “she” is a good person, not more than that McCain survived a prison camp make him a “hero”. it makes him a person to be respected for surviving a prison camp. So did many others who faced worse conditions.
I am not sure this was a good decision. I am not sure McSally will do the American people any good in Washington, nor the conservatives any good.
The GOPELites in Phoenix and Albuquerque and Washington? Those, they will do “good” with this appointment.
