There is just something that women add to a formation... not quite sure what tit is... I cant quit put my legs or heels on it............

Although if i was DS the last 2 on the left. farthest form camera on the 4th row would be doing thier next 2 mile drills on thier hands and knees for falling behind!!!!!!
ETA
After further inspection of the snap shot, it may be the second to last one in the 3rd row throwing formation off. SOMEONE WOULD PAY!!!!
ETA again:
Yep it's her, she is looking up ot the right.... FLAG.... she is gauking off at a bird or something not paying attention to her steps and is 1/2 a step behind causing the ones behind her t o1/2 step and lag messing up formation....
She'd be marching on her elbows next drill practice!!!!! She'd learn to keep her head forward and watch infront of her.

good looking gal.. but I don't agree with women in the military. Like someone says... war is for killing people and breaking things.. and it is not a social experiment. There is no "right" to be in the military. In fact you loose a lot of your rights when you join. As was said... can a military be the best in the world with all women? no... but an all man military (and none of the man likes woman problems) can be and is the best. No insult to women.. they are the best.. and not saying they aren't capable. and chivalry still takes precidence with me. the logistics is very complicated when women serve in the military.
Is that a vacuum line to the right of the gun mount? I mean, I guess you wouldn't want anybody on the ground getting hit & hurt by empty shell casings, now would you?
Peace through superior fire-power, Dave.

I'd place my bets on the all women military versus an all mens military anyday.
Women are naturally meaner, more cold hearted, and more ruthless than men are, and currently they feel that they have someyhing to prove.... also if it's that time of the month... F THAT!!! They don't need weapons, they'll charge and tear a tank apart with thier bare hands!

We had a WM (woman Marine) who bet she could carry any of us, full gear and all out of a hot zone just as easily as any other Marine. We put her to the challenge. Let's just say, she could barely carry a 200 lb Marine... let alone him and about another 100 lbs of gear.
Not saying they don't deserve to fight or serve... just not in ground combat.

I was sure that was a rotary wing aircraft.
As a member of the 66th Rescue Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Dobos “mans” a .50-caliber machine gun aboard an HH-60 Pave Hawk. Her main role is caring for the guns and other defensive systems. However, she’s also responsible for briefing passengers and helping other crewmembers with the weapons, defensive systems, hoist and other equipment.

I don't have any problem with women in the military as long as they don't change the standards. Not long ago the women in the Marines had a higher physical standard than men in the Army and Navy. I really wouldn't want to see women in front line ground roles, but if they can do the work that's all that really matters.
I've worked with a couple woman Marines that were tough as snot. We had a girl at SRI that couldn't have weighed 130 lbs soaking wet, but she could make humps with gear that we had large guys falling out of. I have no doubt she could have carried the average guy with gear, nor do I have any doubt that I would have trusted her just as much as most of the guys in the platoon if we went to a combat situation.
There are certain roles that women tend to do better at, including handling high G pilot situations. Do a search for "Killer Chick" Kim Campell, who landed an A-10 after getting it shot up in Iraq. She landed it without hydraulics after taking damage during an air support mission.
That support helped our boys on the ground regardless of who was flying the aircraft, so more power to her.

The Army recruiter called, and said I scored too high on the tests!
From what I have been told most women in the military become quite slutty while enlisted. Which could be a good thing when your in the middle of a desert somewhere.......Nothing like having a nice piece of american booty while your far away from home at war.
