Boobs on the ground? FFS. More like douche on the air. >:( Maryam Al-Mansouri is the first female fighter pilot from the United Arab Emirates. She led joint air strikes against ISIS this week, when the UAE joined the United States in a coalition conducting military action against the terror group in Syria. When Fox News did a brief segment on Al-Mansouri on its Fox Five show on Wednesday, one might have expected that she would have been treated with respect, given the fact that she is currently risking her life to participate in the US-led military effort against terrorism. ... Apparently that respect is reserved for male soldiers only. Because before Foxs Kimberly Guilfoyle had even finished her brief segment on Al-Mansouris contribution to the air strikes, her male colleagues interrupted her to joke that Al-Mansouris participation constituted boobs on the ground, and to say that after she bombed it, she couldnt park it. ... [W]hen a female pilot flies a combat mission in a US-led war, its apparently fine to speak about her as if she is nothing but a pair of breasts, and to suggest that despite her history-making status as the first female Emirati fighter pilot, she must not be able to park her aircraft. vox/xpress/2014/9/25/6844297/fox-news-commentator-calls-female-pilot-leading-isis-air-strike-boobs
