    Live next to a retired female Col. who was as Blackhawk pilot and later a xo of a medical battalion for a guard unit. She retired and now works as a physical therapy nurse on the reservation. Humble, amazing woman.
  • The Air Force general said it perfectly, there is such a difference between acceptance and inclusion. These women are so inspirational.

    My dad showed me this and said it made him think of me, that maybe I could be a woman sitting in a chair in an interview like that 🥺 you women are an inspiration to me.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm 71 years old and wanted to join the military when I graduated from high school but my three military uncles all said "no way." I could do it as a nurse but nothing else because they not only saw what very young women went through but also knew most weren't well thought of way back then. What a change! Thank you Norah O'Donell.
  • I’m a Navy Female Veteran. I’m so proud to see these four ladies Admirals and Generals. I wish I had served with them
  • As a retired military officer, so proud of each and every one of these amazing women.
  • 16:14 "Yes, there's been some difficult people along the way, but you know, they're not sitting in these chairs right now!" LOVE IT LADY 4-STAR GENERALS!
  • Thank you, for your service. My friend Col. Tracie Swingle, U.S. Air Force, is someone who I admire. As a father of an only child that is my daughter I love, I am grateful of all your accomplishments fighting through the challenges. Throughout my life, I have seen many women accomplish great things with pushback from men, even in 2022. Keep pushing ladies!!!

    “…they’re not sitting in these chairs right now.” I’m not an American but as a woman and a woman who was raised in a military family this was incredibly inspiring and empowering.
  • @yasyas1
    The push by Norah O’Donnell to get them to candidly answer the questions is appreciated. Its important for those coming behind them to know that what they are experiencing is real and its not ok.
  • This is AMAZING!!!! They are so proud of themselves it is epic to see!!!
  • @luongv427
    I got goosebumps knowing we have this many female 4* generals and admirals. The US is the strongest country in the world because we are open-minded and willing to change and adapt. These ladies are real heroes leading the way for the generation of female heroes.
  • It was my experience during 38 years serving in the USAF that the women officers and women senior enlisted were extremely talented and worked harder than the men to get where they were...am hoping we move past this and only consider who is best for the job. Women still have obstacles to serving and am hoping this will change.
  • @cykill1000
    These ladies show the standard of great officers in the US military. I'm so proud to see them. I know under their command so much is being/going to be done for US servicemen and woman. Not that this needs to be said, but please continue to fight and be the inspiration that you are and THANK YOU for your incredible service and diligence.
  • My daughter is a new Naval aviator. Seeing these women gives me a lot of hope for her.
  • Love this. As a USMC veteran, it was great to see the Marine Corps select the first female 3-star in any branch of the U.S. military, LtGen Carol Mutter (1999). We need to see a female Marine Corps 4-star next!
