I find it's very telling that most of the smiling soldiers in the pictures we have seen so far are women. I am female, but I strongly believe that women should not be in any sort of military capacity other than maybe administrative work. The presence of a few women in an otherwise all-male unit instantly creates sexual tension, simply by way of their being present. The mindset that is created produces this sort of unprofessional and obscene action.

Well, I can't agree with you here. I am also a female, the difference being that I am an Air Force Veteran. This one idiotic woman did some very stupid, deplorable things, but her actions by no means represent the actions, morals, or behavior of all the other women who serve honorably in the military.
Women are capable of performing many non administrative positions (and have done so with honor)and I don't want the actions of one person to tarnish their service. I think the person has to fit the job, both physically and mentally, but to automatically say that women shouldn't be in the military except in admin jobs is just plain wrong.
I believe that currently women make up about 18-20% of the military. When I was in, we only accounted for about 2%. There were about 200 men to every woman at the time. Did I sleep around with all the men? No. Did most of the women I served with sleep around with all the men? No. Did one or two of the women sleep around? I think so. But we all knew who they were. They are the same kind of women that you work with in civilian jobs that sleep with all the men. Don't paint us all with the same brush that you paint Lynndie England.

Even here in Freepland everyone reflexively defends how great it is to place women in these positions and that they're just as good as any old man -baloney. Most of the women who want to join these units are looking for a certain kind of adventure that has nothing to do with fighting the bad guys. Even the beloved Jessica Lynch was photographed striping and performing with multiple guys. The military should put together and field units entirely based on what's best to accomplish the military objective, and it should not let gender quota politics designed by whorists (feminists) to be pushed down its throat.

Correct.
btw, these men were being punished because they started a prison riot.
No way were these women controlling these prisoners by themselves.
