Sometimes you have to wonder if reporters are issued brains: "...identified the uniforms as those worn by servicewomen. It was not clear what distinguished them from those worn by men."

Two clues:
1) that tag that says "Female"; and
2) the cut of the pants should the tag be missing.
(How old are you when you first notice that men and women are built differently?)

There is no such thing as FEMALE BDU's. Just several different sizes and lengths.

Maybe things have changed since BDU's first came on the scene in the early 80's, but I distinctly remember the "Male" and "Female" tags that were inside each pair at that time. Could it be that these tags no longer exist as part of a move towards "political correctness"?
