The twitter photo reveals only surface. I don't want to see sexism where it doesn't exist.

I thought bodily differences don't hinder uniformity in the general sense, not down to pocket placement perfection or a cloned look. And so my use of those terms is in the spirit of military order over a gendered sorting.

Though I've spent time at Fort Gordon and Fort Sill, I was just an officer's wife who worked on base, familiar with different kinds of uniforms. That was 50 years ago, and times change.

I appreciate your post.
