Transcript
00:01Attention please, Captain Perron.
00:03Please identify yourself to the military police as soon as you leave the aircraft.
00:08Can you smile and pretend to be happy about this?
00:11There's one woman who can do it to you.
00:13The famous Captain Perron.
00:15I've heard you're one tough cookie.
00:17Since you're the first woman training to be an infantry officer...
00:20Go, go, go!
00:21...we all felt that it would make you an easy target.
00:23I don't want to stand out, sir.
00:25You're in the view?
00:27You guys think being nice to her is gonna get you laid or something?
00:31Now is this everything you hoped it would be and more?
00:34Yes, Captain!
00:38I should be in a tent with the other trainees' warrant.
00:40Isolating me sends the wrong message.
00:42That I'm not like everyone else.
00:44It's pretty clear that you're not.
00:46Copy the bruises?
00:48I'm fine.
00:49Kev, I'm almost done.
00:51One, two alpha, do you copy?
00:53One, two alpha!
00:55This isn't prob, okay?
00:57This is real.
01:01You're investigating any rumor of misconduct?
01:03There was never any misconduct in my regard, Sergeant.
01:08So no need for further inquiry?
01:10No, Sergeant.
01:11Execute the prisoner!
01:13Fire!
01:14I never thought the enemy would be inside my own ranks.
01:17I want to let a maximum of refugees in, so make sure everyone's safe.
01:25Yes, ma'am.
01:26You know they're gonna use this to say women can't be in combat arms.
01:29If this picture gets out, it would damage the men who are bravely serving this country.
01:34I'm being demoted because some officer cadet doesn't think I belong in the infantry.
01:41All these allegations about you being mistreated and then you resign?
01:45I've given my life to the forces.
01:47That's why I don't get it.
01:48Captain Pirro, you have the distinction of being the first woman in our nation's infantry.
01:53Did being a woman make things different for you?
01:59I was the first.
02:02But I won't be the last.
