MAGNUM!! said:Serious in that they're all fighter pilots, yeah. However, I think it's just meant to be something fun for them. I wouldn't get too spun up about it.
Deuce130 said:Sooooo, Magnum!! and Scrapdo, when is your www.dudefighterpilot.com website coming up?
This is not an official website and as it develops, we will make no guarantees or promises that you won't be offended.

also, is flying the hog classified as a fighter?
Caveman said:O.k., I'm gonna get blasted for this one, but here goes. There is no doubt in my mind that a women can fly a fighter and fly it very, very well. This isn't about ability. What bugs me about women fighter pilots is I don't believe we should be sending women into combat...ever. Call me old school. I think a woman's strength is her innate ability to nurture and even though she may be able to set that aside and enter a combat scenario I think we cheapen ourselves as a nation and a society when we permit that. Just because she can doesn't make it right.
My only thought about the CFPA is this: Ladies, you can't have it both ways. If you want to be taken seriously as equals you gotta lose the 'chick' thing. If you want to be a 'chick' I don't want to hear any bitching next time tailhook comes around.

MAGNUM!! said:I pretty much agree with you, and it has nothing to do with their ability to do the job. I just have serious questions about the group dynamics when you introduce women into the combat unit. I know, I know, we should all be enlightened yada yada yada.
However, what if Blue 2 is dating/married to Blue 3? Will he abandon his flight responsibilities to 1 if 3 is in trouble? Will the grunt behave differently on the battefield and take chances he might not otherwise take because a woman is next to him? Will men behave differently (i.e. try to take on the "protector" role) in a POW situation if women are there, too?
It's much more complicated than just saying "women can do the job." They can, and have proven they can. I'm just not completely sold on the idea.
