...a pic from a coupla years ago, of a Eurofighter Typhoon returning from a mission, part of our RAF enforcing the No-Fly Zone over Libya, aiding in the ultimate elimination of Muammar Gaddafi. Said Typhoon has the same livery as the rest of those the RAF operates. As is the design/colour of the flight suit this particular female pilot wears, after getting out of said Typhoon's cockpit.
Only the best of the best in our RAF get to fly our Eurofighter Typhoons, Vox Gay.
Annihilated Argument, much? So women will now be able to have combat roles in the US armed forces. Along with Universal Healthcare, so nice to see you catching up with the UK (we had the NHS since 1948) in the 20th Century, fundie USA.
