I’m guessing you weren’t a grunt.

No, I wasn't a grunt, but my son was. Unless they lowered the standards for her (meaning she passed all the physical requirements that men go through), I have no problem with her. I've worked with many strong women throughout my 35 year career. Every person is different. And the grunts shouldn't have to worry about the "me too" BS worries if they are decent men committed to doing their duty for a commander they respect. If they respect her (and she earns that respect) I see no issues. If they disrespect her on the sole basis that she is a woman, as you seem to be doing, that is a deficiency in their own character.

Oh, you’re one of those types who thinks the infantry is where you find gentlemanly behavior. Everyone looks like Thomas Magnum, and writes their mother a letter at night, and seeks the advice of the chaplain before they doze off.
And on liberty call, they like to find healthful activities like cultural tours, or volleyball tournaments. LOL

And you have worked with some “strong women”.

LOL...got it. You have no clue.
