et tu, female?
Perhaps adding to the somewhat controversial conversation (woohoo - my first! please jump in!) started below, a very insteresting read is Debra Dickerson's guest post at Washington Monthly a few days back, addressing the issue of the female seen prominently in the first pictures released. Notice that it took years (years!) for Debra to have her military persona finally taken over by her true values.

After Vietnam, we shouldn't need more evidence that war ruins the psyche of its combatants. It is not just an unfortunate opportunity for bad people to show their true natures. It is a place where people do the kinds of things they never would have done otherwise. There but for the grace of God...
