Military movies involving mistreatment of women?

I'm trying to dissuade my friend and her parents from letting her join the army. If you disagree with this, please don't answer, I'm not looking for judgment. What I would like to hear are movies that involve the mistreatment of women in the army or military in general, like The General's Daughter. Any hint in the right direction would be great, thanks!|||ummm Movies are HOLLYWOOD and are sensationalized. Trust me, the movie Pearl Harbor was NOTHING like the actual attack.








and frankly..tain't none of your bizness if she chooses to enlist.





as for your absurd assumption: sexual harassment and discrimination is taken very seriously in the military and is punished under UCMJ. and career opportunities.. half of DHs CO have been Females, .. no Glass ceiling in the military.|||First of all, any movies that anyone could recommend are FICTION. You could recommend "Independence Day" to show her how she'll die when the aliens attack.





You are misinformed and misguided. With few exceptions, the women I've met in the service are happy with their choice, do excellent work, and many choose to reenlist and make a career out of it. One of my former commanding Officers is female and I found her to be a competent, efficient CO.





What are you trying to talk her out of? Training, pay and benefits, college money, veteran's preference hiring, confidence and physical conditioning, and the honor of serving are all part of enlisting.





You claim to be a friend, but are trying to talk her out of a decision that could greatly improve her life. I'd examine my own motives if I were you.|||Don't always base your beliefs on what are in the movies, often they are very wrong, outdated, misrepresented. There is no way you can compare what happens in a fictional movie to what can happen in her life if she goes into the military. She could easily have a hard time and mistreatment working at a car dealership, department store, McDonalds,....|||how would you f---in know the military mistreats women???!!! my sister and girlfriend are in the military having the best times of their lives. free eduacation, free food, free housing, and a guaranteed paycheck every month for 4 years! maybe you should do your friend a favor and support her decision you freakin idiot especially in a time where our economy is in the gutter and nobody can get a civilian job. have fun flippin burgers while your friend is getting a degree for FREE and getting paid way better than you will|||oh that will be a good idea,,,we all know how the media and hollywood correctly protray anything. you are going to use a MOVIE to make your case? how about a cartoon? or a comic strip? a movie is just that a movie,,,i would NOT base my life choices on a movie. why dont you mind your own business and let your friend make her own decisions. it is NOT up to YOU,,,it is NOT your life or your business.|||LOL you are going to show her fictional movies from HOLLYWOOD to try and convince your friend from not joining the military.





That's a hoot.
