I was in the Corps at Texas A&M and took a lot of shit from a lot of male cadets. Seemed that they didn’t think women could handle being in the Corps or military. Of course I made it my goal to prove them wrong.
That’s why these two headlines are so sweet:

WashingtonPost: Outgoing Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta plans to announce Thursday a lifting of the ban on female service members in combat roles, a watershed policy change that was informed by women’s valor in Iraq and Afghanistan and that removes the remaining barrier to a fully inclusive military, defense officials said.

In 1969 I was screaming for women to be drafted right along with me. They didn’t listen. Think of how fast the Vietnam war would have ended if women were being chewed up and spit out by the army. (P.S. I got out of the draft because I was a cock sucker. That wouldn’t fly now.)
