New vid: Stronger (GI Jane)
Premiered in VividCon's challenge show. The theme of the show was resistance.
Vid: Stronger
Vidder: Destina
Fandom: G.I. Jane
Song: Stronger Than Dirt by Tom McRae
Run Time: 02:37
Summary: I will still be here when the dust has cleared.
Notes: The program blurb said, 'Resistance creates the future.' Many people at the con were not aware that there are now women trained for the Army infantry, and to serve on Navy subs; women are now being trained for combat in every branch of the service, and they are completing the training at the same standard as the men, no special accommodations. It is happening, slowly but surely, and this movie helped to make a generation believe it was possible. Nevertheless, I kinda think the vid is timely; training women for combat and allowing them to serve in the ways they wish is a necessary thing. We can kick ass in all ways. Not just in the ways we're told we 'should.'

Somebody wake me up
The dream is growing cold
And the night is all we have
Left to hold
Somebody sail this ship
Navigate this crowd
For what I once saw as land
I see as cloud
But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Sometimes nothing is
The better hand
And you throw it all for this
I understand
But I am stronger than you
And I am braver than you
And I will still be here
When the dust has cleared
Will you
Will you
Will you
Will you
