The Women's War

In an article in NYT Magazine about Suzanne Swift's prosecution by the Army, I ran across this gem:

[...] "You're one of three things in the military - a bitch, a whore or a dyke," says Abbie Pickett, who is 24 and a combat-support specialist with the Wisconsin Army National Guard. "As a female, you get classified pretty quickly."

I'm sure that not all male soldiers feel that way, but it doesn't take many to make life miserable.
