Fox News presenters crack a series of sexist jokes about the UAE's first female fighter pilot. Major Mariam al-Mansouri, 35, is one of four UAE fighter pilots to take part in this week's airstrikes on Isis targets in Syria. One presenter asks if her presence in Syria would be considered 'boobs on the ground', while another jokes about her parking the aircraft

(849 posts)With the death of the Jordanian pilot by ISIS fresh in the news. These idiots double down on the stupid. Of course they never served and never will.
You could put these idiots in a jet cockpit and ask them to start the aircraft and laugh uproariously as they hit the eject instead.
The amount of training, the intelligence needed by the pilot to operate a modern day aircraft is astounding. No matter the pilot is female or not, the training is the same and extremely difficult.
Apply piloting in a combat environment to the mix, the chance of mechanical malfunction or combat damage forcing ejection over ISIS territory. It should be obvious the courage level of this pilot is way up there knowing what the ISIS animals would do to her before killing her. Their hatred of women is becoming more obvious daily as the kidnapping, rape and killing of females in their path of destruction.
Maybe the UAE pilot can offer to take one of these newzboobs up for a demo flight.

(53,661 posts)That woman pilot they mocked also risks a grisly and torturous end that would have been played on Faux for the titillation of the masses. The quality of such humans who take on the awful task of stopping ISIS (who I now think of as Ayn Rand hero, William Hickman, of hostage takers) is beyond the scope of the voyeurs that inhabit the Faux newsroom and boardroom.
Remember this is from the gang that approved water boarding (Hannity) and said anyone against going to war in the region was a traitor who shouldn't even be tried, just shot (O'Reilly). And hide behind every dead body and called soldiers who returned physically and / or emotionally wounded malingerers and frauds, or that they should have done the 'honorable thing and died in battle' instead of costing the taxpayers money.
Who convicted without a jury the POW Obama got released. Who edit his words blatantly, and lie nonstop. There is such a thing as having honor, and they don't know anything about it except that word used to have a meaning.
The real story of what is being done there, real people living in this world trying to protect life is a disclaimer against the Faux pro-lifers. They'd've loved this happening to that woman pilot. The memes they would play are predictable.
'Women don't belong in the services; they're all subhuman savages in that region; this is the fault of the radfems; she must have been a fanatic herself; it's all fake, she can't really be a pilot because that's a man's job; and the old stand bys, it's the fault of liberals, Democrats and the Kenyan Muslim Obama.'
The filth at Faux exceeds a septic tank by many measures. And it's being pumped straight into the subconscious, where it will never leave. Humanity is showing itself in all its glory. I hate the media.
