Boeing communications chief resigns over decades-old article on women in combat

SEATTLE: Boeing Co's communications chief Niel Golightly has resigned his position, the company said on Thursday , following an employee's complaint over an article the former US military pilot wrote 33 years ago arguing women should not serve in combat.

"My article was a 29-year-old Cold War navy pilot's misguided contribution to a debate that was live at the time," Golightly said in a Boeing statement accompanying the announcement."My argument was embarrassingly wrong and offensive. The article is not a reflection of who I am; but nonetheless I have decided that in the interest of the company I will step down," Golightly said.
