I overheard a cashier, a very young girl maybe about 17, say she was going to be a marine and had signed up for the infantry. She was very respectful and, from her demeanor, I would guess she grew up in a military family. We were in her lane and asked her about her joining the marines and she, along with two of her close male friends, were going in after high school graduation.
While I am sure she wants it and would probably make it through training, I feel that women being in war zones is wrong. It is the male instinct to protect women and who knows what secrets they would give up if women were injured or captured and the men were forced to watch them being tortured or raped. It is nothing more than something else to weaken our military.
” It is nothing more than something else to weaken our military.”
Your female instinct is spot on, dear lady.
