Back in the late 60's this attitude might, just might have been acceptable from a male member of a military service, but seriously today? I think we have come a long way from worrying about how a Soldier or Sailor looks (female or male) and focus more on what the person accomplishes. Recruiting has always used good looking members to attract new recruits, as advertising everywhere normally does. If you are selling a product, put on your best game face (pun intended).
BUT, today I am more interested in the inside beauty of a person than the outside ugliness, Put your best Solider on display; people who win Congressional Medals are not often Beauty Pagent winners. However, they are inspirational. Works, not looks.

This was such a hot topic, I can't understand why the Col even had the gumption to even make the statement she did, I am appalled to think a senior member especially a female would have done what she did.
It is a stigma that has always followed many women throughout military and professional careers, but hopefully we have come further in the last decade of two wars to put a stop to the stereotype.

I agree. I think we have come much furter as a military force. And I do give kudos for venues such as Rally Point, for allowing this type of discussion.
