WHAT WOMEN THINK
Quotes about Women in the Military
---"I was in the Corps in 1989. I can honestly say I haven't smiled that real in years. There is no greater pride than that of the vbhEagle, Globe and Anchor. I love the Corps and all the values they taught me and have carried them the last 10 years. Long live the Corps and all those that serve. Semper Fi..... Tre' Barron
--"They did a bang up job... They were very bit as professional as their male colleagues." I "wouldn't be suprised at all to see the role of women in combat expanded in the year ahead." -Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney at the conclusion of war
---"Women's struggle for a place in the armed forces has been about seeking the full rights and responsibilities of citizenship ... They have earned the right to the recruiting poster's promise and challenge: 'Be All You Can Be' ." - Maj. Gen. Jeanne Holm, USAF (Ret.)
--"Enlisting in the Marine Corps right after high school was a blessing for me."-Captain Patricia Johnson
--"I believe women should be able to serve in combat. I also believe they should have to pass the same physical requirements as men; otherwise, what good is it? Gender norming doesn't do *anybody* any good, women included. That would greatly cut down on the number of women, but so what? At least the ones that remained would be *qualified* women."
--"The one thing I am sure of is there is probably not a combat job in the United States Air Force that women cannot do. They can fly fighters, they can pull Gs, they can d all those things."- Lieutenant General Thomas Hickey
--"To those of you who say that women cannot handle the stress or rigors of combat mentally, I disagree. I have never questioned the intelligence, or mental cunning of women; I have sat through too many classes in college and military schools to think women any less intelligent than I. Can woman shoot as straight as I can on a range? Yes! Can women set up and fire any weapons system in the U.S. Military? Yes! Rarely do I see women doing 70+ push ups and 100+ sit ups and running two miles in 13 minutes (as I have to do in order to be considered in shape) but does it happen? YES!"--(stated by a male)
