Does anybody but me doubt the general’s story?
There was a recent Episode of "Last Man Standing" that featured an female Iraq war vet that had lost both her legs. She was a Turret gunner.
When a general asks a soldier to identify themself, the correct answer is not "Amanda" -- nor is it "Steve", "Bill" or "Stan".
"Corporal Henderson, sir!" might be a good attempt.
It’s probably true. He was a DIV commander, so he was in a DIV HHB, meaning there were likely plenty of females around, and one of them got tasked to be a turret gunner (it’s probably a rotational basis kind of tasking).
If the good general actually believes that standing in a Humvee turret is the same as being an Infantry Soldier, well....I don’t know what to tell him.
