B-52 gal can't wait to carpet bomb Syria

"We’re ready, we’re hungry, we’re eager to be in the fight,”
- Col. Kristin Goodwin, Commander, Second Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, commenting on her desire to fly her B-52 on Syrian bombing missions.


I'm a bit skittish about letting the weaker sex engage in all forms of warfare as just announced by the military. When it comes to the slaughter of innocents in America's endless and futile wars against Islam, the ladies are itchin' to show the boys how it's done. Consider Col. Kristin Goodwin, commander of a B-52 squadron, for instance. She's absolutely thrilled the war party is considering sending her and her half century old death machines to Syria to obliterate imagined bad guys and hapless innocents nearby to serve as martyrs for more ISIS recruits. Google Col. Goodwin and you'll find a pic of her leaning out the window of her autographed B-52 with a gorgeous smile that likely hides a psychopathic defect.
 
I'd prefer Col. Goodwin incur an epiphany and joins the ranks of female war protesters epitomized by peace activist Kathy Kelly, whom I was privileged to hear speak in Kane County, IL a few years ago. Chicago educated Kelly (Loyola U), one of the founding members of Voices in the Wilderness, and currently a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, has spent her entire life showing us the path to peace which we sadly ignore. Joining Kelly on a military installation picket line might get Goodwin arrested for the first time compared to Kelly's dozens, maybe hundreds; but it may be the most humane and decent thing she could ever do.
