One of the problems created by women in the military back when they were not put into combat related jobs was that it increased the rotation of males so that they were deployed more away from their families and such. Putting them into all the exactly the same jobs as if there is no differences is really not a solution, but when have those who rule over us ever want to solve anything. Did Machiavelli ever talk about solutions? Not that I recall. He talked about how it is better to be feared than loved, that's the big lesson I got from his BS.

Actually Machiavelli said it is better to be both loved and feared. But if you have to pick one, pick being feared.

So it's only an abusive relationship if you have to pick one. Good to know. so: I love Brandon?

Back when I was in the US Army you didn't see air assaullt or jump wings on girls. Even now you don't see them much on the girls.
