this is not 1950 and wars are not fought like 1950

That's what "they" said in 1950.

Then we fought a war in Korea. "They" were wrong".

Then we fought a war in Viet Nam. "They" were wrong.

Now we're fighting a war in Jihadistan. "They" are STILL wrong.

The blood and $#!+ and dirt of war haven't changed since Sargon the Great slogged through mesopotamia ...

Wars are still won by killing people and breaking their things.

He/she must have been speaking for himself/herself...perhaps his/her experience was sitting in an air-conditioned room while flying a drone from 8000 miles away. Which does indeed sound like a job that a woman can do just as well as a man.

The idea that men aren't out there fighting and dying while engaging in the kind of combat he/she thinks no longer exists is both insulting and ignorant.
