Nope, it's because boys will try to protect the woman in combat rather than look after themselves.

Israel has it right - women are FIERCE fighters. Pure evil... y'all should know better.

As far as this matter, time will tell what the deal is. It seems like mom said she would do it then backed out on her promise to take the kid for a year. With no other family, what would YOU do?

In Soviet Russia women were dropped from glorious soviet aircraft with a 250lb bomb attached to each breast to fight off the Germans...all in the name of Mother Russia.

w/o dragging this too far into that disc, there are a lot of reasons for it and that is one of the minor ones. they tried it with our unit once in Germany. brought a couple female medics out to field with us.

I sit here and think of how hard it was for Archen to leave…..and what SHE would say about this woman’s choice.

She probably asked to go, to get away from that stalker Trace.

Also, 21 y/o's are dumb... again, they haven't figured it out yet.

-parents don't always realise how things work in the military. Also, some don't care.

Not saying what she did was right... but she went about things the wrong way, from the story we are able to read.

True. I'm 43 and I work as a "C" school instructor at a HUGE Navy "A" school. I just don't remember being that dumb!

I've never met these folks. Only the dumb ones!

Good point. I've met some of those too. They didn't stay in long though.
