        The question is, was she selected because of skills or because of a diversity program. Politicizing such positions cost lives.

        An african-american and a woman, taking this position due to skills is statistically very very unlikely. You know it's a mixed Corps right? Men and women?

        The training is mostly physical, no way she beat up men. That's why sports are separate.

        No wonder USA ships are sinking in calm waters. I guess diversity laws are more important than skills.
