As always virtually all of their APC drivers, mechanics, and other support personnel was female, heavily augmented with cyber-tech and wore the same tough, exoskeleton assisted armored suits. ‘The Mothers’, as everybody called them, were women whose male kin had fallen on some battlefield somewhere, they volunteered. Serving now not only to protect their neighbors and friends, most of them were out for revenge as they often formed temporary platoons called “Tear pacts”.

Martian soldiers had a saying which emerged right after the invasion of 1969 –“Doom is a Terran woman denied happiness.” Treads Of Vengeance #starshatter #book 3 ch7 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MKS8PB9
