All Female Submarine
RUSH: Michelle Obama is the sponsor of the Navy's first submarine with an all-female crew. Not kidding. Michelle Obama is sponsoring the USS Illinois, the first Navy marine to be staffed by an all-female crew. No seamen on board. I am not making this up: The first US submarine without seamen. And Michelle Obama is sponsoring it. It's the USS Illinois. It has an all-female crew, but again we were on the cutting edge here. Years ago we suggested the All-American First Cavalry Amazon Battalion. Now the Navy has finally gotten around to implementing it with Moochelle in charge.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...7wU_story.html http://www.theday.com/article/201205...120529674/1047 Seems we've come a long way in a year. You don't put a completely inexperienced crew on a sub. And to put an all female crew onboard, that's what you'd be doing. Comments ?

I did read both links but there is no mention at all of an "all female" crew.
You maybe should check you reading ability. Edit: Are there ANY females serving on any USN SSN's right now? I think not, but i might be wrong. |

They probably have corrected the articles and updated the sites already. Note the remark at the very end here:

PC has turned the West into such a madhouse that I would't be surprised at all if this idea would show up for real.

The award winning author of that other thread has been on my ignore list since his first month on this site- sorry if I missed it.
...actually I'm sorry I come back to this site to post at all, aren't you ?
