Har har. Actually it took me a while to visiually parse this photo, and not see the soldier as an effeminate man (or maybe a tall boy who had lied about his age at the recruiting office). I certainly knew we had women serving on the front (as does everyone, if only due to Pfc. Lynch's rescue), but understood they mainly served in support roles, and somehow I don't think I've encountered -- nor envisioned -- an image of a U.S. military woman suited for battle like this. That's pretty cool, and I suppose kind of sexy, in a democracy-whisky sort of way.
