they road and drove the same IED strewn miles as us male types.

Many of them were better soldiers than HALF the dickheads in my platoon. I could put a squad together from back then and order them to take "a forward enemy position" and have zero doubt they would succeed. You all need to stop worrying about how manly you dont already look and give it up. White male troops do NOT have a lock on combat. To even suggest so is to completely disrespect the many TENS OF THOUSANDS of females who have fought their way out of ambushes or defended the perimeter, in BOTH wars, for the past DECADE. get over it already.

wait, are you even IN the service? with the slim chance that you are, are you even IN a combat unit? I am.
