| #3 Maybe the womyn pilots should carry their diversity paperwork with them to bring up their loaded weight. ("Here, take this service manual, too...") |

| #2 Women and children hurt hardest (c) Maybe if we throw another trillion dollars at it, it can become a safe UAV for 'diversity' sake. |

| #1 During August tests of the ejection seat, built by Martin-Baker, testers discovered an increased risk of neck injury when a lightweight pilot is flying at slower speeds. Until the problem is fixed, the services decided to restrict pilots weighing under 136 pounds from operating the plane. My first thought was, "I've never seen a pilot under 136lbs! WTF?!?" Then remember that women now fly these things. Bottom line, the ejector seat is sexist and needs to go to sensitivity training. |
