Did you know that MISS AMERICA 2024 is an active US AIR FORCE officer?

[AviatorTom]

Madison Marsh, a 22-year-old second lieutenant in the US Air Force, was crowned 2024 Miss America at the pageant in Orlando, Florida on Sunday night (14-Jan-2024).

What's "his" name and what pronouns does it/they use? Surely they're not actually allowing BIOLOGICAL women to complete, right? We're enlightened now, it's 2024, so only women with penises should be allowed to compete. Someone has to buy the "tuckable" swimsuits, after all...

[exitseven]

Yes, and she graduated from the AircForce Academy. She is pretty awesome

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

Some kind of political choice very likely. I mean, is this best looking woman a 334 millions nation has to offer? In world competition this girl will see no land compared to Slavic elves and Latinas who are shaped to beauty queens since childhood

[fantasticass]

Congratulations to her... she deserves the award 👏👏👏👏🇨🇦✌️

[YesterdaysChild]

That pageant is so fake. It's more like a reality show. I haven't watched it in over 20 years.

[Iron_Man]

Why don’t you enter let’s see how you do

[YesterdaysChild]

@Iron_Man At my age? Ha Ha Ha Hilarious!

[ShadezMcgee]

Did know that. Cool fun fact and nice to see.

[KrakenAttackin]

She needs to choose if she is going to be an Air Force officer or a beauty queen.

The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things. Being a beauty queen doesn't seem in line with killing and breaking.

[Dinklex3]

I did!

I was talking shit to my mom for like 40 minutes.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Living in the Rocky Mountain West region, we were made very aware of this recently. :-)

[Joshydavid25]

I didn't even know that there was a pageant going on.. But for some reason, it seems kinda sweet.. She looks older than 22 though.. Geez..

[FunkyMonkee]

Nor did I really care. I stopped watching any of those awards shows back in the `70's. It's always somebody else's choice of what's the best and, most often, it's NOT the best that was available that year.

[Surely]

At least she can honestly say that she is fighting for world peace. (. If that is what we truly are fighting for?)

[LiamJHayden]

I did hear about that. First time an active duty won, correct?

[Iron_Man]

Yes I did. I found out last night on the news, go Air Force,

[Anonymous]

Can't say I did. It's always been my understanding that Miss America isn't straight up about hotness, so I've never really followed it.

[DubiousIntentions]

Didn't they used to have a talent contest, a bathing suit contest, and other stuff? I never watched it. How do they determine it now?

[Opinion Owner]

@DubiousIntentions No idea. Even back in the day it wasn't interesting. I think the Miss USA one was the better off the two. But now I'm surprised they have any audience at all.

[purplepoppy]

Makes a change a woman winning it.

[OlderAndWiser]

I understand that she is a pilot. I'd love to go for a ride with her!

[DubiousIntentions]

Could you handle the 4 G's or her flying upside down?

[OlderAndWiser]

@DubiousIntentions Probably not!

[TadCurious]

I didn't know that. Congratulations to her and thanks to her for her service.

[QuietRunner]

I'm glad a woman won. Says something about the the world we live today. So progressive.

[Guido]

There weren't that many hot women when I was in the air force. Some cute ones but I do not recall many drop dead gorgeous ones. Brains and beauty, a deadly combination. She will do well.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, she's awesome. Congrats!

[Sparkie460]

I heard about that. Good for her.

[Anonymous]

Sorry man
Idgaf about celebrities or models

[Liketotry]

I did hear about her on the news
