I am not defending her in anyway but am just wondering how a Sandy 1 qual equates to leadership while flying the A-10?
Yes, being a Sandy 1 is a big deal but then you can also say that being a FAC(A), 2-Ship, 4-Ship, IP, SEFE, etc... also shows leadership while flying the A-10. Being a squadron commander also shows leadership.
You are right though, I could care less on if she was a fighter pilot or what quals she held while flying the A-10 but when running for Congress, I want to know how she is going to help the greater good and once being a fighter pilot should not matter b/c we all saw how that helped Duke Cunningham.
