Really?

Now I know that between the U.S. and Canada, our armed forces are like night and day, but we have females serving in all of these roles. I'm sure we aren't the only ones. Are you sure there aren't any in the U.S. forces, or are you speaking in generalizations?

Oh, and I'm sure there are homosexuals everywhere; they're just hiding, as per their orders.
