Maybe it's me, but I would no sooner dress my essence-of-innocence son as a soldier than I would dress my daughter, if I had one, as a hooker (whoops – seems some moms are doing that, too). Not to equate heroic work with sleazy endeavors – it's the frank adultness of each that makes me shiver.
Uh huh, sure. She's not equating soldiers and hookers at all. It was just pure random chance that she happened to use those particular examples in the same sentence.
