This picture is going viral. Their women can't drive, but ours can fly ... military jets. Who's got the advantage now? Attachments:

And then there's this
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. -- Cartoonist Bob Thaves once said, "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, except backwards and in high heels." This quote is applicable to the Army's female Soldiers of today, who now make up 14 percent of the total force. These females are now closer to combat than ever, fulfilling essential roles both stateside and during deployment. However, these women are often still issued equipment originally designed for males. While advances in female Army Combat Uniforms are already available, the 101st Airborne Division first suggested changes be made to Improved Outer Tactical Vests for women in 2009. These IOTVs hold a Soldier's body armor plates. Much of the need for specific changes comes from the fit of the IOTVs on women, who are generally shorter and curvier than their male counterparts. "They ride up on the female's hips, and it's very hard for us to move," said 1st BCT Spc. Arielle Mailloux. "During PT we'll have to wear it and then go running, and it gives bruises on our hips."

If they need some 'wardrobe adjustment' I think I can help.
