The Top 40

For myself, I prefer the first version.

For my country, I prefer the first version.

The sentence preceding the question is flawed.

So is the 2nd example.

Gee... Lemmee think ... bunch of 'women' dressed as 'little green men' vs... a woman who has better things to do with her time. (Top picture, of course)

Here's a little music to go with the nicely dressed lady:

(Yea, I know, the young lady looks about ...12 years old ... maybe ... so close your eyes if you must, as the voice is angelic - and the eptiome of 'feminine'.)
.

The first example is what I would fight and die for. The second example . . .

There was a female in the second picture?

Female soldiers are to be honored for their service as any other warrior should be. Those that can pass the Rangers regimen have proven themselves tough and are to be respected for it. But in my book, they sacrifice their femininity in the process.

They weren't feminine in the first place, that's why they were there.

Did you know that 80% of military personnel are in support positions? They are not warriors in any sense of the word.

Ranger training is very expensive and in my opinion anyone that goes through it should be required to work in that capacity for a certain period of time, say 4 years or so. Somewhat like the requirements for OCS (officer candidate school), where they provide your college education and then you work in that capacity in the service for a specific period of time to *pay back* the cost.
