About Women Marines in Vietnam:
‘plans were set in 1967 for one officer and nine enlisted women to fill desk billets with the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), based in Saigon. Generally,they were to work with the Marine Corps Personnel Section on the staff of the Commander, Naval forces, Vietnam. The section provided administrative support to Marines assigned as far north as the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Later, another officer billet was added and Lieutenant Colonels Ruth J. O’Holleran and Ruth F. Reinholz eventually served as historians with the Military History Branch, Secretary Joint Staff, MACV.‘
and:
‘One woman Marine in particular, Staff Sergeant Ermelinda Salazar (later Esquibel), who touched the lives of Vietnamese orphans, was nominated for the 1970 Unsung Heroine Award sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, and was immortalized in a painting by Marine artist Cliff Yound. During her 15 months in Adigon, Staff Sergeant Salazar essentially took over a MACV civic action project
involving the St. Vincent de Paul orphanage.‘
That must have taken guts.
and:
‘Women marines in Vietnam normally numbered eight or 10 enlisted women and
one or two officers at any one time for a total of about 28 enlisted women and
eight officers between 1967 and 1973. Their letters and interviews reveal their apprehension before arriving in Saigon, their satisfaction with their tour, and their
increased sense, of being a Marine.‘
I particularly like ‘their increased sense, of being a Marine‘ which evokes images of women police constables darting about on the periphery of a riot while their male colleagues do the dangerous stuff. Do those bimbos who hang around formula one racing drivers feel an increased sense of being one of the team when they get in the way of the mechanics in the pits?
Both quotes are from ‘Women Marines in Vietnam’, at http://vietnamwomensmemorial.org/pdf/mstremlow.pdf , by Colonel Mary V. Stremlow, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Retd. The piece mostly retails stories of the women’s struggles to wash their nylons and underwear (they weren’t allowed to leave their corsets off, unlike women in the other US services) and details what they wore.
Read it and laugh.

The obvious question is the direction of causality: does feminism cause delusional beliefs, or are delusional people attracted to feminism?

Both, I suspect. Of course you could replace ‘delusional beliefs’ with ‘unattractive personality and appearance’. Delusional beliefs and unattractiveness – a powerful combination!

She clearly has er, ‘issues’.
Well, they’re not to be sneezed at.
For that you need tissues.

well since she claims to be a Vietnam Era veteran( yet no indicator in her other places lived of where in Vietnam- in fact no overseas posting at all) rather than a vietnam vet( makes you wonder what she didn’t do when others did) no doubt she with her ranting would like to shout from the rooftops about the appalling way Vietnam vets were treated when they came home and the very young age they were.
best quote I saw
“Divorced in 2004 after a 29 year marriage. It was the best decision I ever made FOR ME! :-)”
oh really, wiling to bet the other half was glad to be shot of a narcissistic person.
you wouldn’t she still has issues 12 years later in her rant.
