There is an elephant in the room on this one that for some reason I have heard no one mention. Little men! It seems men have to be at least 5 feet tall and weigh 132 pounds to join the Army. So whenever George Will – and it seems EVERYONE at Fox News – talks about having to carry a 6’4″ Marine from Iraq to Germany what about the tiny men soldiers? In my years in the military I met not a few pear shaped ROTC officers who would cry just wearing a steel pot or a flak vest. You know the ones who could not do the monkey bars or the chin ups. They didn’t all shoot their Drill Sargent in the toilet…
And pooping in your buddy’s face is a serious problem no matter what sex you are. And boy, does being outfitted in full combat gear make women sexy. Well to Gun Enthusiasts I suppose it looks like Frederick’s of Camo.
