@chartconsultllc @Devon_Eriksen_ Sorry, that's not how it works. Combat MOSs used to be specifically forbidden to women, so no, there was no confusion about whether women would find herself being shot at.

@APoetForThePyre Absolutely not. The opinions in the book should belong to the characters in the book, and should be shaped by their lives, world, and experience. There may be some overlap with the author, but the author's job is to keep their opinions out of the characters' mouths.

@GeauxReadBooks When the author lectures the reader through their characters. I don't care what they're preaching, if it doesn't belong in the mouth of that character, setting, and world, that is just unforgivable to me. I will put it down and never read anything they write again.

@Devon_Eriksen_ You never realize how despicable this argument is until you really start digging into it. "Can you imagine if you aren't you?" questions the fabric of what "you" are. It's not just the existential proposition that there is a spirit-you separate from the container of your
