Wow. Look at that. Blood can actually boil.

Listening to a story on NPR that's part of a "Women in War" series.

The fact that someone just asserted that no woman would be able to pick up a incapacitated infantryman and that every other available man would just makes my head spin. I can't bench press 250 lbs, but there are plenty of women out there who can. And plenty of men who can't.

Hats off to Michele Norris for not completely losing it and screaming at these people. I would not be able to hold on to my professionalism in the face of such logical deficiency.

I used to drag football players. And I was the big strong one on my team, and was not the only one doing it. It's all technique really. It has a little to do with strength, but if you can make it through boot camp, you have the strength.

I wouldn't scream, I'd just start laughing hysterically, which wouldn't be professional either.
