| "During the time period I was in, the quality of the women was bad. There were some good ones, but they were far and few between." | Today's women are much more equal to men in the eyes of society. Women aren't starting off at as great of a disadvantage. |
| Girls were much more naive. Women didnt realize that problems, such as sexual harassment, posed a realistic threat to them. |
"You girls know more now than we knew then." Society is much more open to address issues, such as sexual harrasment. There is a great deal of more respect for women today. |
| Society felt that women should have a very restricted role, if any at all, in the military. |
Women do and SHOULD play an active role in the military. However, she would not like to see women go into the infantry or heavy combat. "Being a Prisoner Of War would be much worse for women. The ways of torture are much worse." |
". . . I would do it all over again."
