Women have been serving in airborne slots and units for over 40 years. I am confused that not one came from Wisconsin, but airborne infantry is a new challenge. The biggest issue is the male ego. Tough to be whooped on by a girl:-)

Col Rebecca Lorraine - To make you smile, in 85 I was in Colombia South America and the female rebels were the meanest, roughs, SOBs that would shot their own men if they tried to surrender to us. I still have the picture of the Gal that told me "Your time to die will come LT, but not today" She bought me a beer as my team said leave! I fell in love that day!

CPT Pedro Meza - That is an age thing too, but we did every run in our black Cochranes which we then cleaned before reporting for duty at 0900. We used to run the matta mile in sand in our boots.

Col Rebecca Lorraine - I had boots that I used for running and boots that I wore with that dam pickle suit. The secrete to good running boots was to soak them over night in a bucket of water then wear them during the day to mold them to your feet.

You mean the show of men that judge a Women Warrior by what the males can do like carry heavy loads for miles, when we don't do that unless you want your teams killed. There comes at time when men have to stop playing stupid games and see the value that women fighters bring to the fight.

CPT Pedro Meza - No, I mean if she can make it on her own accord. Don't put a hyperliberal twist on my nonpolitcal comment. Comment means exactly what it reads, no need to read into it or try to make the comment something that it is not. Semper Fidelis
