Reply #7: I'm emailing this to my Army daughter [View All]

To see what she thinks. I know she has NO tolerance for sexual acting out for men or women in the military. I seriously doubt she finds her M4 sexy. She is a combat vet and accomplished soldier. (She does what I consider stupid shit like getting her Air assault wings and volunteering for checkpoint duty in the Afghanistan boonies)She can drive anything the army has to offer. I doubt she considers that sexy, probably considers it an accomplishment. She's Staff sargent who takes pride in being hard on her soldiers, but also lets them know she has their back at all times. She wants her soldiers to stay alive, and that takes discipline. She demands, and gets, respect. The last thing she wants to be considered is a "female" soldier. She want to be a soldier. She's told me a few stories about women like this, they tend to be damaged in some way. I don't mind sex, or sexiness in a soldier per se, I mind a woman or a man who connects sex with violence. I call bullshit.
