Because, let's be honest, knots can and do loosen over time. Fear as a long term motivator just doesn't work. <br /><br />My other observation is be sure not to forget the ladies, like Ida, as all warriors need to have safe places to re-arm, get food, warm clothes, blankets, and medical care for the injured. Someone needs to be "keeping the home fires burning". Someone needs to be feeding the cows, chickens and hogs, growing the gardens, preserving the vegetables, fruits,jam/jellies, pickles, meat, cheese, bread and alcohol (beer, wine) as well as preparing the bug-out bags for when the UN troops come checking up on the "homestead",whether that home is in the city, town or waaay out the other side of the ridge. Or when an observation post needs to be manned. Need to have ammo reloaded? The shop "manned" because the shopkeeper is not available? When information needs to be gathered in town, or needs to be communicated. Few women are looked at very closely, especially those that are older. Women are "the weaker sex", which is true physically at least. But don't forget, women birth children, and raise them up...how many men do you know who are big, tough-talking wouldn't-want-to-meet-in-a-dark-back-alley-types who wouldn't say boo to either their Mom or wife???!!<br />There are many women who fully support their husbands and sons, fathers and brothers, as those men go off on maneuvers.<br /><br />Women...we are smaller, usually, weaker physically, usually, but we are still pretty tough when we want to or need to be. How many times in fiction, have you read about the "compliant" wife/woman of the house who offered to cook/share supper with the troops that just shot the man of the house in an attempt to delay being raped/killed, and then those troops are either incapacitated, or out-right killed because the lady of the house poisoned the stew with mushrooms, or another herbal "spice". Or the "lady" who, um, shall we say keeps the UN military leadership types "happy"...pillow talk is a real thing...information can be gathered, and has been in the past. Loose lips and ships and all that...<br /><br />Let's not forget, also, that the fastest growing group of gun owners over the past couple of years has been women. Ladies are showing up for training and for practicing with their newly acquired guns, and, according to a couple of trainers I have talked with, are better students and learn faster because they don't have any "bad habits" to unlearn and are more amenable to listening to the trainer/range master. Folks of that sort could increase any UN commander's nightmares.<br /><br />Just a few thoughts I'm throwing out there for contemplation by the Muse. <br /> Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117433684554337583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-81491842185291877612021-10-03T08:09:35.179-07:002021-10-03T08:09:35.179-07:00Could hell, it HAS worked, Sarge.Could hell, it HAS worked, Sarge.lol nohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335617988091342172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-53132394564705135752021-10-03T08:08:13.028-07:002021-10-03T08:08:13.028-07:00Being a dirty commie, I'd guess he was "t...Being a dirty commie, I'd guess he was "thinking" what he was programmed/told to think.
