I agree - this is sad. Though courage & bravery are up front & center with our soldiers, that bond made on a personal level with each other is an important one. They are away from home, loved ones, & friends. All they have is each other, which I believe keeps them strong & determined.
It’s sad to know that anyone who has what it takes to be in the military, can’t get the respect they deserve for putting their life on the line as well.
Or we could just genetically engineer female soldiers from Michelle Obama’s DNA. No problemo.
