challenge to liberals: got any facts?
I've edited the section that mentions Kelly Flynn because it's not fair or respectful to the hundreds of women aviators who earned their positions fairly to hold up an isolated incident as representative of their collective skills and professionalism. If it can be shown that Captain Piro, Lt. Parker, or any significant percent of the hundreds of female combat pilots in the service today got to fail multiple times before earning their wings, then that should be cited as fact. Otherwise it's just innuendo, and these dedicated Americans risking their lives for us deserve more respect than that. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 15:34, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

:The Flynn case casts a pall over all women. If you want to show that it's an isolated case, go ahead - if you find facts to support it. But it's common knowledge that [[gender norming]] is rampant in the U.S. military. If you think otherwise, the burden of proof is on you. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 15:01, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
