as an infantry vet


as an infantry vet (that was in the second to last unit to go through jungle training in panama before it closed), why did they have to include the token woman that would not only not be allowed in the infantry, there would be no way she'd be allowed in the rangers.

side note - why did they put specialist rank on the master sergeant?

honestly, if i took a shot every time there was a military error i'd be dead - and i learned to drink in the military.

seriously though, m16s don't have a full auto option, would be great if hollywood could get a memo on that

Probably because she and sergeant West were section 8 so West wanted to recruit her anyway.

Its pretty much the same "tough girl" from Soldier Boyz.

I love the director but he has zero military or army background and it shows in all his work.
