Lynette Arnhart agreed to step down as the gender integration study director,\u201d Army spokesman George Wright said in a statement to Army Times on Nov. 22. \u201cGen. [Robert] Cone, Commander of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, accepted this change in study leadership. Concurrently, TRADOC suspended [Col. Christian] Kubik from his position as the Public Affairs Officer pending the outcome of an investigation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was poor lack of judgement that Arnhart sent the email in the first place, and her stepping down is totally useless, because she&#8217;s just going to be replaced by someone who thinks the same way, they&#8217;ll just be smart enough to not put it in writing. And, it&#8217;s going to be hard to convince any female soldiers that they&#8217;re being photographed not because they look plain.<\/p>\n<p>The Army doesn&#8217;t need to have an investigation of anyone. It was a stupid email  it&#8217;s not urinating on Taliban corpses or anything. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked this up at Bring the heat, bring the stupid, the Military Times is reporting &hellip; <a title=\"Two colonels leave jobs over the &#8220;pretty women&#8221; email\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38568\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Two colonels leave jobs over the &#8220;pretty women&#8221; email<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38568\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
