I think it is a serious mistake to assign Brig. Gen. Kathleen Close as the commander of the Ogden Air Logistics Center ("Change of guard at Hill," Tribune, May 17).
I believe it's contrary to social, military and Christian strengths and values (Proverbs 31:3; 1 Cor. 11:3). For obvious reasons, I can't imagine a woman coaching the Dallas Cowboys or the Chicago Bulls. I feel the same about a military leadership position. I adore womanhood, but I also respect manhood, and I feel they each have their place, especially in leadership and combat roles in certain fields.
