We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines.
They don't know if we can fight, if we can kill. I think we can. All the general has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the
enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms."
Elayne Boosler
“In war there is no substitute for victory.”
General Douglas MacArthur
