I know a lot of other people won't. I subscribe to a number of Facebook pages devoted to tanks, tankers, and armored warfare. When a young lieutenant was recently assigned as the first female tank platoon leader, a number of very nasty, vicious misogynists on the pages screamed about political correctness, a presumed lowering of fitness standards, and the military going down the drain. It was awful and embarrassing to see. I'm proud of being a tanker, but not all of us have made it to the 21st Century yet.
