Cool for her.. However just how well can she or anyone else service a 155MM cannon or an AH-64... Anyone taking any bets??? And look I mean everything from moving the cannon into a covered position(or making that position) to loading the powder and the rounds..Or for that matter change the tracks on an M-1A2 or a M-109 ???
That should always be the basic judge of anyone's fitness to serve... The ability to get the job done
