Question for you, SirLance...........I noticed your avatar and location. Do you think the word "chivalry" is still used in some of our forces today? And if so, describe what you think it truly means in our forces. And I don't mean just "towards women". I mean the ideal of the word.
I just had the thought of what military would always use in drastic measures. The phrase of, "Women and children out first......" Does this still apply in our armed forces today?
Or if any military member here can answer these questions...........please feel free to do so. |
The irony here is that Carno is an officer with the Marines, I believe. I hope that doesn't deflate your romanticism of this whole thing.
And I do believe that the whole "women and children first...." idea applies pretty much everywhere, not just in the military.
