Good article that raises an important point: while many of us have decried the feminization of the military that has been imposed by the liberals, there is little to explain some of this behavior by the "ladies". Yes, the military has a tradition of being rather rude and crude as a necessary part of their tough image, however, one would think that with all of the "sensitivity" training they have gotten under the watchful eyes of liberals seeking to undermine the ability of our military, that these types of abuses wouldn't be occurring.

The story about the one female soldier, whose photos are most frequently shown with the naked Iraqi prisoners, is that she is a "paper-pusher in the wrong place at the wrong time". If that is true and she has been "sensitized" to the feelings of others as the liberals have tried to assert, why is she posing in these pictures instead of taking names and reporting the situation to her C.O.?

IMO (and I have heard this on talk radio, as well, recently), liberals suffer from a severe case of SELECTIVE (fill-in-the-blank). Pick an issue and, in virtually every case, you'll find instances of liberals selectively exercising their memories and outrage/anger. Kerry challeges Bush's military service, but gives Clinton a pass for not having any. Hillary is selectively outraged over these pictures, but lets dozens of other worse things pass (such as the massacre in Rwanda that occurred on her husband's watch.

The louder the left cries about some events, the more dust they are kicking up to try and cover up worse events that occurred while they ran the show. It's getting VERY old and America is getting VERY tired of it.

Moby already revealed this strategy. He even advised offering the suggestion to go to Conservative forums posing as a Republican and give mock opposition to President Bush over issues that don't actually bother them (like immigration amnesty). I'm sure this is the case with Bush's Vietnam service.

They try to diminish President Bush's base an issue at a time. Keep prodding until they find some niche issue to convince someone to stay home (or vote Kerry).

The left has been asking for President Bush's impeachement since before Jan 20, 2001. They don't realize that they can only play that card SERIOUSLY a few times. The 80th time they demand impeachment, the more it reveals their opposition to this administration than it poses a serious question of whether the President has committed an impeachable offense.
