And a toast to this brave soldier for showing how awesome our warriors truly are!

but females have been MPs for as long as I know. I was acquainted with a female MP in bayji (2003) who was an absolute killer. She was glorious.

good soldiers understand we live or die together. Frankly I dont care what you are or where you are from, if you get that, you can be on my team.

You are useless to any team.

I seem to remember a female rent-a-cop being involved.

Rachel mentioned that last night, so I figured that would be worth adding as well. I believe she was injured by his gunfire.

Yay!!!!!

More points against MRA bullshit and sexist/hypersexualizing culture.

People had been whispering and trolling the Virginian-Pilot's comment section after that shooting on the Navy base last week...

I thought 11 Bravo was just for the guys. Used to be anyway.

we have a few females in my battalion, and a femal officer.
13M -HIMARS

by the General at the base. during a press conference. Why is it so hard to believe female soldier did her job?

What I find hard to believe is they got details of the story right so soon, that applies whether the hero is a male or female. As I said, it's practically a reflex to look for a story of heroism in such a horror. Sometimes, immediately after the trauma, people squint too much to find one. Reporters will run with such a story with no verification.

Including, and most especially, when they report something to a general. All that means is we'll probably never find out exactly what happened now because witnesses are afraid of contradicting the authority.

I won't believe any detail that comes out within 72 hours of a shooting, except, the body count and maybe the identity of the shooter (but remember they fingered Adam Lanza's brother).

Human perception and memory just aren't that reliable. That's been demonstrated in experiments time and again. It's especially true when trauma, hopes and psychological needs are entangled. People crave something redemptive in an event this heinous. It's a coping mechanism.

The Military gives equal pay to women!!!

"Grunt" refers to Infantry.

Good job on her part though.

I might get locked out of my own thread.

Most of my 11Bs can take some ribbing...

I traded them in for different models after this last deployment.

However they are next door and a day without shit talking is a rare one indeed.

currently serve in the infantry although plans to do that are in the works. IMO that is the biggest mistake since creation of the all volunteer army.

The biggest mistake is that women do not currently serve (that's how I read it, but I see how it can be read both ways.)

Yes, I see that now.

if she's lesbian or transgender?

.... that broken man would have kept killing until he was stopped.

good guy with a gun ha ha! awesome woman with a gun.

NRA goes out of its way to encourage women's gun ownership...
