McSally on FM - NPR_____ Where else?
Damn well not on McNBC or other McCorp newsfotainment..
Just heard her being interviewed. Spoke clearly and sanely, pretty much reiterating the points already thrashed out here.
Said she is a Christian, referred to the religious aspect of the matter. Either she or reporter mentioned that, even the Saudis do not require vistors to wear bags: it is purely an artifice of the US military. Mentioned 5 senators hassling defense folks over the matter. She has received letters from peers, also above and below.. most supportive - and a few quite not.
Obviously well aware of 'good manners', when in Rome yada yada. But (in her words) "this undermines my authority , ability to lead - and is humiliating". (ie riding around in the back of a jeep covered in a sack..).
May she live long and prosper, and some generals get asses kicked (while wearing an abeya for the punishment). The cowards.
