I Use a Menstrual Cup

When I first joined the military, I was the only woman in my company. When we would go on marches or training days, the toilet facilities were not superb so I had a lot of distress during my period. I bought a menstrual cup at the military shop and it is an absolute life saver. I put it in in the morning and I can march all day with it in. No leaking or anything

For what the war is happening? Are we born to live joyfully or to do fight and die for no reason? Pls understand Politicians are using Military cadets as condoms for their pleasure and throw away in the name of war! If you are intelligent enough you come out soon.@zozo090

@zozo090 I happen to believe in some form of mandatory service, military or something else. I believe that an all voluntary military is a mistake which leaves the military as totally subservient. If you want to know, yes, I served, I gave 2 years towards my responsibility as a US citizen.

@zozo090 you are either not responding to my comment or didn't understand. I believe that every citizen owes some service to his/her country. There should be choices for everyone, so that if someone has real proof that he/she would be a risk to him or herself or other soldiers for serving in the military, then there needs to be an alternate plan. I served when service was mandatory. Certainly I wasn't happy about is, and did what I had to do, but I realized that it was necessary and actually helped to make the military more mainstream. In the US we also have the Coast Guard, National Guard, both forms of military which don't directly mean war, but there are many other service programs that benefit the general welfare, serving in undeserved areas, etc.

You chose the military, that was what was right for you. I congratulate you for finding your mix.

Now you are showing that you understand what I am suggesting. That concept would have to become organized, and enforceable.
