civilian position, as it should be. A bedrock American principle, enshrined in our Declaration of Independence, is that the military should at all times be subordinate to the civil power. We have laws on the books prohibiting anyone from being appointed secretary of the Army, Navy, and Air Force within five years of their active duty.
Still, that doesn’t mean it is a good idea to appoint a secretary of the Air Force who has never even flown a plane, even in civilian life. The combined military experience of this administration’s secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force is two years. Only Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has served atall. But as we’ve seen with Secretary McHugh, they are willing and able to advance the Progressive-Islamist agenda.
That may be the reason the administration picked James for her job. She has one qualification that trumps all others for the Obama administration. She’s a true believer in this administration’s quest to remake the military into a progressive social club.
This past March, Secretary James unveiled her “sweeping plan to increase opportunities for women, minorities and enlisted airmen.” 13 In addition to lowering height requirements and other standards, her plan quite explicitly calls for quotas,
particularly in the pilot ranks
. She might call them “diversity and inclusion requirements,” but they are quotas just the same. This means she will require a certain number of female and minority pilots, regardless of whether they are the best candidates for the positions.
Retired colonel Terry Stevens, who actually served thirty-five years in the Air Force, including eight years in personnel, wasn’t buying it. “If you’re going to do that instead of picking the best qualified of any applicant, then you’re actually downgrading the quality of the force,” Stevens said. 14
This isn’t just theoretical nonsense to be debated at a think tank seminar. All of this adds up to a weaker military on the battlefield. Our pilots’ hands are tied trying to fight ISIS. The dearth of actual airstrikes was one of the factors contributing to the Islamic State’s victory at Ramadi. This is what happens when you have a sorority running the military. According to the
Washington Times
:
A former official who is frequently in the Pentagon said, “The building is very guarded about what they say, butclearly the White House is running the campaign, which has them furious.”
This source said combat pilots can loiter over a target for hours before approval comes to strike it. Sometimes approval never comes.

The sorority girls decide when our air force pilots can release a rocket. I suppose it’s difficult for them to manage everything, given their important work cooking the books to prove global warming, proving racism by white cops causes inner city crime, and proving homophobia is everywhere. Meanwhile, ISIS now controls Ramadi. You can watch their victory parade on YouTube.
This is just more of the same from an administration who wanted to lower the physical standards for admission into the Marine Corps. That was a reaction to the revelation that almost half of the female recruits were unable to perform the minimum requirement of three pull-ups. Never mind that their fellow soldiers might be in more danger on the battlefield if they had to depend upon soldiers physically unable to perform their functions. Diversity trumps battle readiness in the new progressive military.
This past April, the long experiment with integrating women into combat ended when the last two female recruits washed out of the Marine Corps’ Infantry Officer Course, after failing to complete the Combat Endurance Test. The female recruits were already granted lower physical fitness screening standards, but had to match male performance on this phase of the test. They were unable to. 16
One can only guess what the progressive answer to this predictable outcome will be. I suppose the Combat
