This isn’t a feminist argument against bikinis (plus, look up the etymology of bikini and you’ll find a surprisingly powerful history). I just think it’s weird and inappropriate to wear a bikini in the Yard, only feet away from Faust’s office, or even in the more secluded Quad, where your House Master and dining hall staff can walk by and see your pasty thighs and jiggling boobs...
...cohort with pairs of male lovers because they thought they would fight more boldly when they were vying to look good in the eyes of their lovers. The fighting forces have had gay and lesbian people for a very long time, and there’s something just very weird about the stance the Army has taken versus the stance that other countries with fine armies such as Canada, Britain, Israel take.

...flew into Marjah over a patchwork of poppy fields - not exactly a sea of poppies, but plenty of them. It was two weeks before the harvest, and the last blossoms were floating away in the dusty haze of Helmand province, leaving the prohibitively weird-looking, blue-gray bulbs bald and ready for processing, like an army of alien vegetative creatures. We landed in a wheat field just across the road from the district governor's pathetic headquarters. It was Day 45 after the operation to retrieve Marjah from the Taliban had begun, and the highest-ranking U.S. military official, Admiral...
