- Military veterans are speaking out against Fox News host Eric Bolling's reference to the first female UAE fighter pilot as "boobs on the ground."
U.S. military veterans from the Truman National Security Project have released an open letter condemning Bolling and Gutfeld for their "immensely inappropriate" remarks, which the veterans called "unwarranted, offensive, and fundamentally opposed to what the military taught us to stand for." More from the letter, via Talking Points Memo:
"... the skill of women as fighter pilots is well established. And before you jump to the standby excuse that you were "just making a joke" or "having a laugh," let the men amongst our number preemptively respond: You are not funny. You are not clever. And you are not excused. Perhaps the phrase "boys will be boys"--inevitably uttered wherever misogyny is present--is relevant. Men would never insult and demean a fellow servicemember; boys think saying the word 'boobs' is funny." |

| Rest well tonight, Ann. You are thoroughly vindicated after the shellacking you took on this forum for your thread of the same topic.
It's about time someone took on FOX. I have many men acquaintance who don't get it and never will. We have to give up on them and instead do like you have done an recognize those who to get it as the real men.
Men and women who respect and honor each other will contribute to a better world. |
