(A little trouble getting through.)

I've read about that -- women who pilot the drones half a world away from the action, doing 9-to-5 in North Dakota.  Winding up hospitalized from stress disorder. We noted back in Viet Nam that the guys who were stuck in base camp seemed to have it worse psychologically than those of us out in fire bases and the boonies.  We figured it was because we could at least shoot back.  It was probably a complex of factors, though, up and down and sideways.  Not the least of the positive ones was that the officers were in at least as much danger as the men.joe
