I don't dispute her bravery or how much she has suffered serving her country. I do dispute the policy that put her in that situation. As what happened to the 507th showed, support units can end up facing combat situations, so using women in those units is a bad policy.

Notice that Miss Lynch was treated far more brutally than the male POWs. None of them spent 4 months in the hospital and are still on crutches. Also notice that the other female POW, Shoshanna Johnson was also more severly injured than the male POWs. If you beleive the cover story that she was shot through both ankles with a single bullet, I'd like to sell you some prime swampland. That story is as big a load as the story that Lynch's injuries were sustained in the wreck of her humvee. That lie was debunked in a July article in Newsweek by Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Rod Norland, who reported that according to American intelligence sources, the leader of the SEAL team that rescued Lynch and several Iraqi eyewitnesses, Lynch was only slightly injured and able to stand when she was captured.

Even if we want women in support units very close to hostile areas, we need to face the fact that they are in store for a horrific experience if taken captive by Arabs. My cousin, a 19 year old woman who recently joined the Army, just completed SERE training, (Survival, Evasion Resistance and Escape) and was breifed on what actually happened to Lynch and Johnson. Beleive me, it would give you nightmares. Even the male POWs, who were not as badly abused as the females, suffered a monstrous ordeal.

Muslims hate women. They use for breeding purposes only.

Of course the fact that they anally rape women (and men) shows they are insane imbeciles.

Sometimes they figure out the proper way to procreate and some actually multiply.

How does the Amry know enough to say? And if they do, why aren't they telling the American public?
