“The public doesn’t seem concerned they are dying,” said Charles Moskos, a military sociologist at Northwestern University who has closely studied national service. “They would rather have someone else's daughter die than their son.”

Judging from this garbage, a "military sociologist" must be something you do when the burger job and the pizza delivery job doesn't pan out. It sounds to me like the Lefties figured if they could get women into combat jobs, America would stop participating in wars. Dumb plan.

As usual, they misjudge human nature. It's their way.

I'm sure this "military sociologist" is really getting great on-the-job training sitting on his butt at Northwestern University and reading the MSM idiots' view of the war.

The problem with the war is not that we're fighting it. The problem is that we're fighting it with the yoke of political correctness around our necks. As long as we worry about PR and world opinion we'll always be hamstrung. Since the world hates us so much, fine. Screw it. Let's do what we need to do and quit pandering to a bunch of leftists, communists, and muslims that will hate us regardless.

Sure makes me wish that the military was still being led by guys like General Patton and Blackjack Pershing, not a bunch of perfumed princes running the war from east coast bunkers lined with TV screens.

Don't you love it when the flaming hypocrites on the left pull out the "chivalry/weak little lady" card when it suits them? I can't stand these types, nor the New York Slimes. They don't honor the women for their service, they just take cheap shots about the supposed lack of concern for women soldiers or chivalry in the American public at large. The feminists sure fought hard enough to get women into the service academies and places like VMI and the Citadel, didn't they? Well, they should honor the women who serve and chose a military career, and keep their ignorant remarks about the nation not caring much about female military casualties to themselves.
