RSS26 Year Old Army Reserve Officer Deshauna Barber Crowned Miss USA 2016
26 year old Army Reserve officer Deshauna Barber from the District of Columbia was crowned last night … Miss USA 2016
An Army Reserve officer and IT analyst from the District of Columbia has been crowned Miss USA 2016 after mounting a strong defense of women in combat roles in the military.
Deshauna Barber, a 26-year-old from the nation’s capital, gave the answer during the interview section of the pageant in Las Vegas on Sunday.
When asked by judge Joe Zee whether the Pentagon’s decision to open up all combat roles to women had “put political correctness over our military’s ability to perform,” 1st Lt. Barber responded:
“As a woman in the United States Army, I think it was an amazing job by our government to allow women to integrate into every branch of the military.”
She continued: “We are just as tough as men. As a commander of my unit, I’m powerful, I am dedicated and it is important that we recognize that gender does not limit us in the United States.”

She gave the PC answer required to the social nutcase MC’s in order to win. If she was an officer in my unit, the whole unit is in trouble.
What in the world does an IT specialist know from experience about military combat? Little to nothing.
When we have a group of so called Green Berets from FT. Carson who cannot climb Longs Peak (14,239 ft) and then get back down in an afternoon, we have a big problem in military fitness.
