I remember standing in a bomb crater with a couple of feet of water in it, taking a bath.

I was stark naked except for my helmet, flak jacket and boots. My buddy was providing security in case any VC decided to interrupt my ablutions.

Sometimes, you just GOT to get clean!

How this going to work in a coed unit?

(I’d say that SecDef Carter is an idiot, but even an idiot would know better than to force the “face to face” combat units to integrate women. This is pure evil!)

I have to wonder about just the everyday banter, with Marines having to constantly censor what comes naturally to kids in their late teens and early twenties. Without officers around, of course.

I fully doubt today's Marines are much more PC and Church Lady about how they talk among themselves, and what they love to talk about. Fifty years do not change the culture very much.

Major friction and sexual harassment charges coming soon.
