Boeing Communications Director Resigns Over 33 Year-Old Article

He argued in 1987 that women shouldn't serve in combat. He says he doesn't hold those views now but he had to resign anyway.

I find this really stupid and I have pledged not to buy a single Boeing airplane from this moment on.

I don’t know who is nuttier, Golightly or the person who complained over a 30 year old op-Ed piece. She should have just asked him if his views were the same today as they were 30 years ago. Do people’s views change over time? Absolutely.

Thinking about it, I knew Troopers who wouldn’t ride with a female, unless forced to do so. Today, it makes no difference and it’s never even discussed. A Trooper is a Trooper. There is no race, gender, religion or anything else that changes the title

I look forward to the day when someone is "cancelled" for something said in kindergarten.

Yeah, I remember telling my 4th grade teacher that I thought she was pretty. Surprisingly, I still got in the Marines and state police. Whew!
