Licky Lindsay: Most of the cites here involve either completely fictional forces, or hypothetical future versions of real ones. Their rules are probably just different from present-day real armies.
Silent Hunter: Would you say that a part of the Squadette character is that she has short hair? Big T: I wouldn't say it was necessary, but it might be good to mention that this is common.
Trisar: Do Rebecca Chambers and Jill Valentine (of Resident Evil of course) count as Squadettes?
Lark: Would Zoe from Firefly count? I hadn't noticed any other women in the flashbacks...
