I will do this soon, but only out of trust, SyT. Do not abuse it :-)

Well SyT, you did not disappoint. Though I think your 'take' and the 'Kos's' 'take', may not be the same.

I have pride in these women. A sea change since 1965. They were allowed to show their love for this country. And they gifted us with the ultimate sacrifice. Actually, I am at a loss for word's.

It is a lovely trubute, marred only by the usual Kossakan shyte.

Long ago I heard a story about a female nurse in a mash unit in viet Nam. she died when the place was over run by Viet cong. She refused to leave her patients and so hse died trying to defend with them with her side arm.

Of course the difference in the ME is that these women are by and large, nurses.

I think what commenters like the one noted overlook is that the soldier does not make the rules, he or she just fights. There will always be someone who will question the cause and denigrate the service.

I meant to say these women today are by and large not nurses. Once again my lazy refusal to preview has resulted in a mistake, an error. I am ashamed of my careless arrogance.

Good God, I certainly hope so!
