Marla tells Robin that some other women who were up at night saw the special forces heading into Iraq from Kuwait. When he asks why the women were up she replies, "Had to go pee...Did you know women did that?" Why does she ask him this? She is trying to make him angry by suggesting he doesn't know anything about women. She hopes to educate him about the benefits of having women in the military. She wants him to know that she is uncomfortable being in the military around the men. She is joking about some of the tension that might exist when men and women serve in the military together.

D. She is joking about some of the tension that might exist when men and women serve in the military together is the correct answer.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
