This story has no "blood and guts" (K, you've probably stopped reading) but my G-Grandmother served as an Australian Army Nurse before and during the War (where she was stationed in the Pacific for around 2 years), then after the war, she took my father and his brother to the Australian War Memorial...They wouldn't let her in because she was wearing pants...She explained that she was a nurse who'd worn pants all her god damn life and was taking her sons to see the memorial...But the door-man replied with "Ladies don't wear pants" and was refused entry... The whole time she was wearing at least 4 of the medals during her time in battle... Cheap Bastards...
