more women?
Sigh....I was at Bragg when she-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned was blazing trails for women everywhere. "If asked any questions relating to....you will refer them to the Ft. Bragg PAO." Whatta pain.
My friend, George Miller, God rest his soul, was on duty at MacKall at the time of her foray into the Offficer's Course, and found the rucks that she and the other valiant orienteers had cached. They tossed the contents all over the grid square, and waited for the clever wannabes to return.
She even got to go to Bragg to do her laundry, as he said. George had related this story to me many times, replete with George's own stylistic vulgarities for panache.
Good Lord, I have not thought of that despicable person in a long time....and as posted before, it is not fun to wade through that set of offal-ridden memories.
As a recruiter, and in a class presentation or outdoor event, when told by young women that they could do as men do, I would lie down and tell them that as a medic, they need to pull wounded me to safety. Then the screams start in earnest as they pulled, or try to pull me. Worked all the time.
Lastly, say that women get into important roles, and, let us say, go on an MTT to some 3rd world hole where women have no worth. When they start teaching the male soldiers that they are charged with training, what money would ride on the fact that all the good guys wake up dead?
