Girlie GI


I’m not a great fan of a gender-neutral military, perhaps because all of my descendants are of the female persuasion. Anyhow, there are a whole raft of reasons why, during most of recorded history, warfare has been a masculine pastime. But even I must admit that there are aspects of warfare that benefit from a woman’s touch. Can you imagine GI Joe replacing this splendid young Marine in Afghanistan? Blue skies! – Dan Ford
