Manager quoted a Reuters report after they interviewed a female member of the US military team helping to rescue 12 football playing youngsters and their coach from the Chiang Rai cave.

 

The boys and their coach were all found alive on Monday night after spending 10 days in the Tham Luang cave.

 

Jessica Tate said that the rescue operation had many challenges and there were still many to come.

 

"We still have work to do," said Jessica.

 

She praised the rescue effort and the spirit of cooperation between international and Thai agencies in finding the missing Mu Pa team.

To avoid the inevitable clamour on TVF for that soldier to get a haircut?

 

Whilst female soldiers are commonly found in the west (LJs - lumpy jumpers as they were known) they are I suspect very much more of a novelty here.

I didn’t see them lead off any other news stories with the headline including gender of the rescuer.

 Is that  major problem for you or are you just over-the-top with the PC nonsense?

If you consider viewing and accepting people as humans rather than lumping them by gender, race, sexual persuasion etc as PC nonsense then the problem is yours.

Because she is, maybe.

There are men and women on the world, and many variations on both.

Why deny it?

Could it be because the interviewer asked a person at the site who was 

 

A   Obviously female

B   A member of the US military assistance group

Why is it even  to have an identity? we could all just be chipped and have barcodes or numbers, come on - we are human, am I the only one that is surprised that there is a female on the team, or are we are not allowed to have free thoughts anymore! ?

Be happy someone has found them in relative good condition.

What a rubbish post, you sound like a certain attention seeking policeman from earlier in the week.

 

You may have meant it as a joking post, but to me it wasn't.

 

She and all the other teams were there because they were unvited by the Thai government to work as a team with the Thais to rescue the trapped children.

Of course it was not necessary or the story would have said something other than...well nothing. This story relayed no information.

She likes a selfie for her facebook page, but to be fair from the state of their clothing it looks like they have been run ragged.

No it's actually from the Thai girls twitter feed. And yes this is what I do all day, I even get paid for it.

 

Good night.

Here is how CNN covered the same interview - 

 

“US Air Force officer on Thai cave rescue plan

US Air Force Public Affairs Officer Jessica Tait says rescue teams are trying to find the safest way to save 12 boys and their soccer coach as a number of elements make the rescue effort difficult . . . “

The headline is weird but on the other hand this lady has been on the media a lot here recently and when they say female U.S.military rescuer I think that identifies her well to the Thai public better than her name. No biggie!

She's a public affairs officer, she's not a 'U.S. military rescuer'.

could have been worse, it might have been a transgender

Misogynist claptrap.
