WOMEN IN THE MILITARY UPDATE: Savage Boards Naval Destroyer Guarded by a Woman — and Kills Sailor. “The aptly-named Jeffrey Tyrone Savage drove a tractor trailer onto the base last Monday and wrested a gun from the hands of a female sailor who was guarding a missile-guided destroyer, the USS Mahan. Here we see what everyone knows: an ordinary man can overpower a physically fit female sailor. Another sailor, 24-year-old Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark A. Mayo, responded and jumped between the female sailor and Savage — a perfect demonstration of what is likely to happen when male combatants face threats to female combatants. He was shot by Savage. Mayo arguably lost his life because of affirmative action.”
