I am a Viet Nam era vet (Female). Nobody bought me a beer,either, and I never expected one. I was not ugly, nor a slut, nor a lizzie. I was eager and honored to serve my country both in the Regular Army and in the Reserves. I was frequently the only female around, but found myself respected and liked by my fellow soldiers. My experience may have been different from what many women in service experienced, it was one of the best and happiest times of my life. I acted like a lady, and was always treated like one. It was a great experience that payed for my college degrees and led a rewarding career. My son now proudly serves in the US Army and is about to begin his 4th deployment to Iraq.
