I'm a Mother and I served in the Navy in the early '80's. Would you allow your daughter's to serve in combat zones to be raped by the enemy?

Believe it or not, there have been several female posters on FR who have said that rape is an acceptable price to be paid for serving your country. I mean, every woman who signs up knows she runs the risk of getting raped, right?

Please go to Center for Military Readiness. It has interesting articles! The PC crowd have weaken our military readiness. There's an article about Johnson, the Army Cook. She was unaware that she would be put in harms way until the last minutes of her deployment. Her recruiter forgot to mention about the new 1994 ruling allowing women to be in front lines.
During the eighties, the Navy banned women from serving on combat ships or be in combat zones. They were concerned about the rigors of combat or being mistreatment by the enemy. How many military men are raped while in enemy hands?
If you can find a Jane Wayne out there who worked on the farm and lifted bails of hay to developed her upper torso and beat up the bullies at school...bravo for her. But most girls are not built like that. Guys by nature are going to be protective towards women. It's all biological. Did this happen to Lynch's unit? Did they lose their cohesiveness as a fighting force? I don't think I could keep up physically or emotionally during the heat of battle. The American public don't know what really happen during that ambush and the Pentagon wants to keep it secret because its a failed experiment by the feminist.
