Byron; Welcome to the new century. Where have you been for the couple of decades or more? It doesn't take much strength to pull a trigger or to push a button, does it?

Today's military people have volunteered to enlist in the various services... and whether you agree with it or not, women firefighters, women police officers, and yes ... women MILITARY personel, have become commonplace in our advancing society today.

I was a naive, cocky, NJ Bell lineman for many years during the all-male, all-white, era when NO outside technicians were women.... nor black. That is not the case today. Women and minorities are now performing in what were previously all-male, all-white, occupations. The world is changing ... and fast. Either we change with it or we remain stuck in a time-warp, just like some of the mid-eastern polititicians have.
