Some say the eyes are the window to the soul. The first thing I instinctively noticed when I saw Capt. Graf’s official photo was her eyes. These are the eyes of a wolf: competitive, relentless, and predatory. The eyes are saying I can best you at any game, day or night. They say nothing of competence or discernment. Based on what I have read about her command performance, she mistakenly believed that leadership is based on yelling, insulting, and belittling of subordinates. Her behavior is a telling display of ignorance about leading people in general and about the male psyche in particular. Males will put up with good-natured insulting and ribbing from people they respect. However, generally they do not like it coming from a woman and from one they do not respect. And, again, from what I have read, her insulting behavior was not even good natured. It really seemed to be for the purpose of insulting. And further, she seems to be too stupid and stubborn to see that her methods were not working. 

Leadership is learned and respect is earned. She accomplished neither. 

Poor Holly. She wanted to be a man and never could figure out how to do it right. I am sure, someday, some enterprising metro-sexual male will start a charm school for females who want to be male. He could clean up in today’s culture.
