I served for twenty years as a soldier in the gender-integrated United States Army of the 1970s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. 1 fully acknowledge the risks inherent in trying to read anecdotal evidence from the present into the past. But -- I was a keen observer of how many men and a few women interact in a military subculture and I think this gives me at least a glimmer of the chemistry that existed between Joan and her cohorts.
