wcg for this link to a Time gallery of US Marine women in Afghanistan. Props to the Marine Corps for being so smart in their use of female Marines to interact with the women and children in a population where male soldiers doing that would cause problems. And my admiration for these young women knows no bounds. Serving in the line in a war zone is tough, grindingly hard, sometimes scary work. Doing that as a woman in the Marine Corps in Afghanistan... truly nothing in the rest of life should be difficult, compared to what they are dealing with now.
