"I served in the Army for 4-years and 10-years after as a contractor."
I served 4 years in the Army, and now i'm self employed. So please, allow me to retort.
"Having women serving in the military was a real blessing. It gives you a reality check & good feeling."
Um, huh? What sort of reality check, and what sort of good feeling?
"I found the women more reliable than men when it came to the following out of orders."
Except when they get knocked up to avoid a duty assignment or go over your head to allege sexual harrasment because you actually expect them to do what they're supposed to do.
There are plenty of crack female troops from a discipline and order standpoint, but there are plenty that suck too.
"You can count on the them!"
Sometimes. Just the same as men. Sometimes you can't. Just the same as men.
"These ****ing guys posting that women are "this or that" don't know ****. I was in a half of dozen firefights in Panama, never had a problem with the gals."
Oh yeah? Hmmm. I was there too. I don't seem to recall any females in combat down there. Not even in the MPs(at least that i ever heard). Please do, illuminate us with these tales of female prowess on the battlefields of Panama...because i was there and somehow i saw none of that.
How odd...
