It may be changing a bit with more women in the military than while I was on active duty but I think that a big part of the problem is the ratio. In society approximately 50/50 men and women. In the military not even close, women a small minority. Add to that, the toxic indoctrination taking place for those men.

Boot camp call and response cadences like, "I don't know but I've been told. Eskimo pussy is mighty cold." or "This is my rifle. This is my gun. This is for killing. This is for fun." Respect for women, oh yeah.

Here's how I feel about the idea of my daughters or granddaughter in the military. Not a good place for them.

Yeah, a friend of mine who joined the Army after he got out of school (he had not choice...they paid for it) would tell me about some of the cadences they did. I didn't say too much at the time. I figured that was just how the military was. I'm a lot less understanding now.
