Female B-2 pilot took part in the inclusive attack on Iran’s toxically masculine regime
President Donald Trump launched one of the greatest and most epically named military strikes in American history over the weekend, when seven B-2 bombers dropped an ungodly amount of bunker-busting ordnance on Iranian nuclear facilities. Operation Midnight Hammer was an unparalleled success on many fronts. Iran’s nuclear facilities were “completely and totally obliterated,” Trump said. That’s impressive, to be sure, but not nearly as impressive as the momentous victory our president delivered for the noble causes of female empowerment and inclusive equity.
Fox News reports that at least one of the B-2 pilots who took part in Operation Midnight Hammer was a woman who identifies as female. That’s important for several reasons. First and foremost, representation matters. Imagine how empowering it must have been for all the little girls out there to learn that someone who looked like them was responsible for dropping 60,000 pounds of precision-guided American greatness onto a fortified compound maintained (for evil purposes) by one of the most toxically masculine and ruthlessly patriarchal societies on Earth. It sends a powerful message that no dream is too high, no target beyond reach.
Hillary Clinton thought she would break “the highest, hardest glass ceiling” by becoming the first female president of the United States. Her campaign was so confident she’d win that they ordered cannons to shoot out little shards of confetti on election night. Hillary failed because nobody likes her. Maybe her biggest mistake was dreaming so small. What if, instead of wasting her life in politics, obsessing about wealth and fame, doing sketchy deals, and having her enemies murdered to protect her pervert husband, Hillary had trained to become a badass Air Force pilot capable of raining death upon the enemies of freedom from 50,000 feet? It doesn’t get much higher or harder than that.
Trump has always been a champion of true female empowerment. Earlier this year, when Hooters was on the brink of bankruptcy, Trump did everything in his power to rescue the iconic franchise from financial doom, ensuring that the Hooters legacy of promoting body-positive feminism would endure. Even though women are notoriously bad drivers of automobiles, he didn’t think twice about entrusting a female pilot to carry out this daring strike against a misogynist regime that doesn’t believe, as Hillary once said, that “women’s rights are human rights.”
Joe Biden, the disgraced former president, bragged about having the most inclusive cabinet in history, but that was just performative woke nonsense. They accomplished nothing, and presided over the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, one of the most humiliating foreign policy disasters in American history.
Our current president has chosen a different path focused on getting results, destroying our enemies, and using the sheer might of the U.S. military to bend the arc of the moral universe toward inclusive equity. America wins on Trump’s watch, especially the women. It remains to be seen whether Trump will be remembered as history’s greatest feminist, but he still has (at least) three and a half years left in office. In the meantime, our nation’s long-haul flight to progress advances in the dead of night, locked and loaded; the unenlightened cower under a barrage of shattered glass and big, beautiful bombs.
