I personally am fine with women as helicopter pilots, fighter pilots, bomber pilots, whatever.
If they meet whatever standards are needed for those positions, they absolutely can be in those positions and in combat roles.
Bitter can GFH.
My objection to not releasing the pilot’s name is that there is not, nor should there be, a “right to privacy” and neither should the family be able to interfere in what is standard military policy.
Maybe the instructor’s family will receive hate mail too.
When you join the military, you know the rules and the risks. Having your name “protected” is not one of the rules.
I think too much is being made of the helicopter pilot’s gender here. Whether the pilot was male or female a family may have requested the same anonymity for their own reasons. Why the military is granting their request merits questioning.
Also, another aviation professional said a 4th person should have been seated in the helicopter monitoring the air traffic around them.
”Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order that he says is intended to “maximize” the capture of water during winter storms.
Newsom issued the order Friday, saying it will make it easier to divert and store water as storms bring rain and snow in the coming days.
“It is more important than ever that we maximize every opportunity to recharge our groundwater supplies,” Newsom said. “As we anticipate rain and snow in Northern California, we are also preparing to use every last drop to boost our water supply for communities and farms throughout the state.”
Environmental and fishing groups, however, denounced Newsom’s order as being alarmingly similar to federal directives from President Trump, saying the governor’s approach threatens to harm vulnerable fish species and the deteriorating ecosystem of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.”
Trump has made isolationism and protectionism the core of this message for the last 50 years, it is the ONE thing he is consistent on. “America First” is isolationism at its best.
Today he placed stupid tariffs on our NAFTA partners, if there should be free trade anywhere it should certainly start with Canada and Mexico.
Saying Trump is not an isolationist or protectionist is like saying Hitler was not a Nazi.
The @DOGE team discovered, among other things, that payment approval officers at Treasury were instructed always to approve payments, even to known fraudulent or terrorist groups. They literally never denied a payment in their entire career. Not even once.

The highest ranking Treasury official, David A Lebryk, is resigning rather than complying with a request by @DOGE for access to audit where they’ve spent trillions of dollars a year. Why would career bureaucrats fear an audit by @elonmusk and @doge to see where we can save money?
Janz – posted a similar link on last thread. I compared the Audit the Treasury to Audit the Fed……..of course, that is bad, according to Bitterlaw, because that effort was a “Paulbot” effort. Forget about Reagan’s “Trust But Verify” mantra, one can never agree with a common sense policy from a “Paulbot”.
NYC – I didn’t see your earlier post about the Treasury type audit. I think it’s interesting that the OPM files and info are being gone through as well.
NYC, in Bitterland, any agreement with anyone on his enemies list on even one issue means that person is in 100% agreement with the enemy.
In an audacious case of projection, he sees this in other posters on a constant basis.
Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch are all originalists/textualists. Yet, they don’t agree in all cases. I wonder which one is the approved purist and which are the frauds?
