Boats,
I know exactly what you are saying. Most of us baby-boomers were brought up that our women were to be protected. We hold open doors for them and lift heavy objects for them, etc etc.
But, think about it. American women have ALWAYS had their butts "on the line" in every war we've been in....from the revolution on forward.
The only difference is that
now there's a piece of paper that says they are "combat official".
Women manned cannon at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778.
A few served as infantry (and one doctor) in the Civil War.
How many nurses were killed by German subs in the Atlantic, or by Jap Zeroes in the Pacific?
Some were killed, some were taken captive.
We CAN'T always protect them.
So, if there gonna get shot anyway, they may as well have the authority to shoot back.
And that's the name of that tune.
