Please don't think I'm being flippant here but this is what happens when we bow to the PC god of the ages. You sure don't hear the feminists raising the banner to honor these fallen women heroes (heroines is the correct term), except to USE them for political exploitation, which is what the Left is all about. That movement is totally screwed up and has done more damage to this country than many other things.
Well, may God bless and gather these women in His loving arms, their trials and tribulations are over for this world and it is up to us to remember their sacrifices in the right manner, with dignity, honor and humbleness.

Amen to that! As a retired Army ODS Vet with 20 years of service under her belt, I have NEVER understood the FemiGnatzies and what they stand for, aside from destroying families and emasculating men for their own supposed "gain."
I've always said, "It ain't braggin' if you can do it." Look back through History. There are PLENTY of women who picked up a plow or an axe or a shotgun when their husbands fell and just kept on truckin'. There were plenty of women who raised children on their own in the wilderness while we settled this country. There were plenty of women such as Florence Nightingale and Molly Pitcher who saw a desperate need for society...and filled it. I'll even give Carry Nation credit; though I disagree with her stance on alcohol, LOL!
It p*sses me off that the NOW hags co-oped so much of our History for their own sick, twisted reasons. Modern feminists haven't contributed SQUAT to America, other than to undermine it for political and personal gain.
Bella Abzug? Marlo Thomas? Gloria Steinem? The Code Pink-os? Ppfffft!
Shame on them. For shame!
Of our 58 fallen in Iraq from Wisconsin, three have been women. We have a handful of injured women back from Iraq as well. One lost her hearing, one lost an eye. And while it's not reported, I'm sure more than one lost a marriage in the process.
And I, too, disagree with Mothers of today of any stripe being in combat, no matter how gung-ho or dedicated to the cause. I waited until I was finished with my military career to start a family. It was unfair to me, to my country, to my future kids, and to my husband to drag them all along with me.
Women CAN have it all; we just can't have it all at once. :)
I don't think you're being flippant at all, sir.
