Sypder, ROFLMAO.Yes, I was afraid it would happen sometime.
I had a talk with a friend of mine once, about women as fighter pilots.
The thing I told him I was afraid of, is that women don't have the ability to accept the absurd as readily as their male counterparts.
Additionally, women very rarely start something they don't plan on finishing.
Men married to good, intelligent women worth their salt will agree, that if their wives start an argument, as soon as they've begun, really, the husband has lost. Why? Because if the woman didn't think she was right, justified, and would prevail in the end, she probably wouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
Any intelligent man, or at least one that "catches on" after 10 or 15 years, will usually go along with whatever concept the woman is pitching, after enough token resistance that lets the woman know her man has not turned into a total wimp, and the acceptance proves that he has not lost his mental faculties as a result of watching too many football games on TV.
Picture this scene: Somewhere over a god-forsaken desert no-fly zone, 2 state-of-the-art U.S. fighter planes patrol. AWACS warns of hostile bandits approaching from an enemy air base.
The hostile bandits continue to vector towards the patrolling fighters, and actually take a shot at the good guys.
Through extensive training, knowledge of opposing weapons systems, use of ECM countermeasures, and good 'ol stick and rudder, the U.S. fighters easily evade the missile.
The bandits, feeling that their point was made, and not necessarily possessing a suicidal death-wish, break quickly, and extend towards their base, safely away from the no fly zone.
The patrolling fighters pull some g's, open things up, and find themselves easily pursuing the bandits that had just fired on them. AWACS advsises they should not pursue the aircraft out of the no-fly zone, and to head for home. The patrolling fighters acquire missile lock, and let the pinging do all their talking. They relish the growling sound of missiles armed, and pull back on the stick vectoring for home. An argument ensues over who buys the beer, and whether or not Bobby Knight is the Anti-Christ, or the best goddamn college basketball coach the world has ever seen.
Now, picture this scene with women at the helm of the patrolling U.S. fighters:
A woman, after going through evasive manuevers and judicious use of ECM, winding up on the six of the agressor, after just being fired on, hearing the words of the AWACS controller would think, "Let's see. I spent most of my teenage years taking extra physics classes and getting good grades, while all my friends were going on dates and having a good time, then went through four years of college busting my ass to graduate cum laude, then 2 years in highly specialized intense military training, followed by 2 more years of smiling and brown-nosing a bunch of testosterone-laden assholes, just so I could wind up in a position where I might find myself in a combat situation.
"I'm sitting here at the controls of a 40 million dollar aircraft that responds to my commands like a second skin, with my finger on the trigger of a million dollar missile that is locked on to an asshole that just tried to kill me. And now, because some guy thinks it's okay, I'm just supposed to think that everything's ducky, turn this thing around, and head for home. Think I'm a string? 'FRAID NOT!"
Fox one. Fox two. Splash two bandits. Hello, International Incident.
Remember, women have far too much common sense, and most of the time seem devoid of the ability to readily accept the absurd as a solution to a problem.
Men on the other hand, are quite content to live in a dream world, oblivious to the concepts of "Truth" or "Justice."
This is why women should never be allowed to fly fighter aircraft in combat.

P.S.: Since everyone's been a little edgy lately, and prone to mis-interpretation or simply taking something way to freaking far or personal when someone posts something, I'll make the following disclaimer so everyone knows what's what:
The preceeding diatribe was intended for the sole purpose of entertainment, and should also serve as a warm welcome for Maaco to the insane asylum that is this community, and a statement of my firm belief that women can be every bit as good a fighter pilot as any man, as long as she is willing to forfeit approximately 50% of her i.q., and ALL of her common sense! S! Maaco
