Back in the Gulf War I, when the war was over and we were planning our re-deployment back to the states, one of the guys in the TOC mentioned that it seemed to him that the females were getting more and more b^tcher. Many agreed. Then one guy said he understood why, that in a few weeks time they would be ugly again and that really angered them.
I worked with a lot of women in the Air Force. As a general rule they really really enjoyed the attention. Some turned into sluts or even hookers.
Some encouraged competition for their affection. Leading to all kinds of problems. Some managed to stay ladies.
Many were very competent at their job. But their presence there certainly detracted from the mission.
