Women in Today’s Army

– March 12, 2010Posted in:

As the month of March moves along, the U.S. Army continues to celebrate Women’s History. Women are represented in every aspect of the Army-past, present and future. They serve in many capacities; from the National Guard and Reserves to Four-Star General. Check out this week’s photo slide show of “Women in Today’s Army.”

March is the best month ever. Women everywhere get recognized even more, especially the ones in the Military. Hooah!

I think this is a great article highlighting some of the accomplishments of women in the military.

However, I have a big issue with the photo of General Dunwoody at the end of the article. Basic, basic, basic weapons safety is never pointing a firearm at anything you don’t intend to shoot. Yet General Dunwoody’s rifle is pointed right at the photographer. I think this sets a bad example.

They’re showing off their STRENGTH, not their patches.

what strength? i don’t see any muscle-definition. maybe if they had to equal mens’ physical requirements, the female soldier would have muscles like men. maybe they’d better try pull-ups instead of their pansy “bent arm-hang”.
