There has been a lot of back and forth about men and women being tested equally for front line combat roles.
First, let me make it very clear, I am one hundred percent for equality between men and women. I’ve worked under women bosses, had no issue with it. While at Morgan Stanley I had a woman business partner for a year and a half. It was a very sucessful relationship, we’re still friends.
I’ve learned a lot from the women in my life, begining with my mother; the vast majority of which has added significant value to my life. And although I can’t say much nice about my two ex-wives: I learned hard lessons from each of them as well.

Okay, we’re just going to come right out and say it: We mistook your grandmother for another patient and brought her in for surgery this morning. This happens from time to time. Thankfully, the surgery went well. Still, we think it’s important to be as transparent as possible with our mistakes.
We’re sure you have many questions, and we intend to answer them all. For starters, how did this happen? The simple explanation would be that we meant to take her roommate, whose name sounds a lot like Doris and is also somebody’s grandmother. Unfortunately, it’s never quite that simple, since the patient we meant to take was a middle-aged man named Valentino on a different floor. We’re still investigating what exactly went wrong, but we suspect it may be related to staffing problems and the fact that the same person was responsible for both lunch orders and patient transport. It’s possible that when asked whether she wanted the chicken barley soup or house salad, your grandmother requested a knee replacement.

We bombed Iran and, despite a temporary cessation of hostilities, it’s likely that President Donald Trump and his counterpart in Tel Aviv, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, intend to drag the United States into yet another destabilizing effort in the Middle East, perhaps the most dangerous one yet. As an Iranian American, I feel as if my greatest fears are now being realized. Like many Iranian Americans, I love this country and the many blessings that it’s provided my family — so much so that I proudly chose to wear the uniform of its Navy. I’ll never forget the immense sense of pride I felt, on July 31st, 1996, when I was sworn into the United States Navy, or the unparalleled... Read more
