Bull squat! Lord, I cannot imagine being assigned to a platoon and meeting my PL, and it’s a woman! I think I would laugh. Course my butt would be in a sling for a bit. Or having a new PL assigned and it’s a woman. Again, I would laugh, and this will do nothing but damage morale.
I’m sure those female platoon leaders will be a big hit with units in Germany, i.e. those that spend eight months in the field (i.e. red mud) in Grafenwoehr.
