Seeking the Soul of China: "Women Hold Up Half The Sky."

Oh, I see.
This is a theme.  More accurately, a fetish.  I didn't happen onto a photograph of the one Chinese military unit with hot, beautiful, female soldiers (although I am capable of that). There are units (plural), divisions, regiments, battalions, gaggles--whatever the military term--of them. This is just how women are portrayed in the Chinese military.

So taken together, i.e. as a theme, what do we have?  It looks for all the world like some Chinese guy had a fetish for American flight attendants ("stewardesses" as they were called then) circa 1960's. The mini-skirts, go-go boots, even the hats (TWA, I think). Do not try to tell me these are legitimate military uniforms. Aren't military uniforms supposed to blend in with the battlefield, like camouflage does? Where would these young ladies be fighting in their sky blue uniforms, in the sky?  Actually, their uniform blue is lighter than the sky in the background.



Nice shot. Could the cameraman get any lower to get a better candid up skirt?


Uh-huh. Great military uniform when fighting among bougainvillea.


Fly me.



Orange. Orange.




The bobby-socks and patent leather shoe brigade.  Chinese men have got a foot fetish, going back to foot-binding.
