[Vision2020] what the Bible really teaches (wasDouglasWilsononwomen)

[Carl Westberg]

Well, not being of a religious persuasion, and knowing nothing (thankfully) 
of what Mr. Wilson thinks of the proper role of women, while myself 
believing they have every right to do what they want, including flying 
combat missions in the cockpit, my only real thought about Mr. Wilson's 
comments is:  isn't "small little town" redundant?
