'Military uniform does not protect anyone'

June 02, 2020 12:00 am • Last Updated: June 02, 2020 4:38 pm

Ladies who Lead?

Why are three women on the front page of the May 22 Region section identified as “Ladies Who Lead”? Because they are in military uniforms? What I see are three women without masks walking about three feet apart, ignoring the guidance currently in effect. Wearing a military uniform does not protect anyone from the real threat of COVID. This is not leadership. Leaders should be models, and this is not the behavior I want to see modeled during a pandemic.
