Much of the demand for women in combat comes from female officers who are eager for medals and promotions.
It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.
Medals don't suit me. I'm not that kind of guy.
I've always believed that no officer's life, regardless of rank, is of such great value to his country that he should seek safety in the rear... Officers should be forward with their men at the point of impact.
The proportion between the velocity with which men or animals move, and the weights they carry, is a matter of considerable importance, particularly in military affairs.

I am a military police officer and I have served on two deployments; my first was to Iraq, in a medical unit, and my second deployment was to Kuwait, as a military police platoon leader.
Surely the fact that a uniformed police officer is wearing his hair below his collar will make him no less identifiable as a policeman.
The sergeant is the Army.
