I bet it is. That was impressive video from the embeds on the drive to Baghdad. What 17 year old guy didn't want to be slouching back in the turret of an Abrahms with a 50 cal in his hands? I'll never know everything that goes through women's minds but I suspect the images of confident, in command, in shape, young guys firing hand held missiles one minute and cradling wounded civilians the next had a postive impact too. When both sexes reenforce each other that way, big changes are afoot in society.
"Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle"--George S. Patton
