No Man/Men/Male Land



Captain Peters had to practically yell to be heard over the explosions around their position.

“All right Men, we have-“

“Soldiers.”

Captain Peters paused and glared at Sergeant Dorman.

“Fine. Soldiers, we’re gonna have to cross about half a mile of No Man’s Land before-“

“No Person’s Land!”

Peters took a deep breath.

“Dorman, do you see anyone here complaining about my using gendered fucking language? This squad is all male!”

Dorman coughed, the effect lost when a mortar shell exploded above them.

“You’re a woman, Ma’am… Captain.”

Captain Emily Peters closed her eyes, as the next shell hit true.
