The fact that they didn't say why she was relieved tells me that women are just as capable as men of being a fuckup, but they will get special treatment. I'd bet if she was a man, the air force would have kicked him to the curb after facing a very public courts martial.

CPT Gregory Hafera That I can agree with. The "news" has become a sensationalist medium for advertising dollars.

Always sad to see something like this happen at a time where the military has made such strides in breaking the gender barrier when it comes traditionally male dominated fields, like aviation.

I don't understand why everyone jumps to the conclusion that this Capt. had some relationship gone bad so she's ousted from the demonstration team? It could be many things including a performance review or medical issue or vote of no confidence by the other pilots in the group. When do they decide something like this? It has to a tough decision.
