Why all that to move 24 women?

I wondered about that -- maybe there's a typo and it should be "or" instead of "and."

The quality of the soldiers vs what we have to day was appalling. Why? Because most were there against their will. Drugs, etc were rampant. I don't fault the soldier, I fault the notion of forcing someone to do something they have no desire to do.

There are indeed Women Marines flying combat missions as well. Captain Vernice Armour is one of them.


Marine Capt. Vernice Armour is the Department of Defense's first black female combat pilot. She flies AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters like this one at the Camp Pendleton airstrip.

I disagree. There were the problems you mention but as a percentage of the total number of military personnel it was relatively small.
From my perspective the problems were abetted by a lax command structure. Too many officers weren't willing to take the measures necessary to clean out the ranks.
Support for trouble makers by leftist politicians indeed made the problems occur more frequently than one could expect.

Yes she can. Remember Billy Jean King's sponsor, Snap on Tools?
