"It is a weapon of terror used against an enemy soldier."

Yes. The raping of a female soldier is a weapon that may be used against other captured men, especially men that have been Clintonized and sensitive to females in the workplace/military.

"And anyone who thinks only women are at risk just don't know the facts."

Theoretically, yes. However, factually speaking based upon direct knowledge gained from research, Gulf War I had only one male victim (A Brit). All POWs we debriefed for lesson's learned and for purposes of improving SERE training. Widnall, Secretary of the Air Force, investigated completely the subject as Widnall (a Hellary appointee) wanted to gather "proof" that rape was something that happens all the time to men POWs and therefore, by extension, was no big deal when it happens to females.

Widnall and Clinton were desperate about this. The facts proved them wrong.

Reality was as stated above, 100% or our female POWs were raped, whereas only one male Brit pilot.

Interesting. Another poster awhile ago had stated they found research that seemed to indicate otherwise. It does seem the potential to spur irrational action on the part of male soldiers, in reaction to the presence of female soldiers in theater would be high.

Women in the military are not held to the same physical standards as the men.

This is wrong. This endangers everyone around them.
Women can meet the same physical standards, if we set the bar the same, as they are humans with the same capability as men.

Women should not, and ARE NOT, forced into military service.

There are likely a dozen reasons that WOMEN should not serve in the military, on the front line, in this war.

The enemy will take advantage of a soldier being female.

They already did with a certain CPL (IIRC) and our Chief and every officer downline took instant action to remove the 'fuse' from that bomb.

A female fighting on the front line must be physically as capable as all the other soldiers, and she must realize that if the enemy tries to use torture/rape , then she must fight against it like a soldier, and spit in the face of the enemy. Let them know you will not let your body and sex be used to compromise the efforts of your fellow soldiers or your country. Remember the very strong, very faithful(I think) Italian PRISONER. The terrorists offered him a blindfold for his beheading, and he refused, yelling out, "NOW WATCH HOW AN ITALIAN DIES."

He faced his greatest fear, and held fast to his patriotism, taking away the power that the terrorists were trying to gain by showing the world Italians were weak cowards and deserved to die.

The male soldiers would, likewise, have to have similar responses to the females.

This is where it gets sticky. The male soldier cannot give special consideration to the female while in battle.
But they do. It would take quite a while to get all the males to lose that barest trace of chivalry our society still has.

And the MEDIA! They love to exploit a female being captured or killed. Which just means the terrorists know that if they drag a body through the streets, or rape a female prisoner, or slit a woman's throat , the MSM will be there to ensure NO ONE MISSES THE SHOW.

It took hell and highwater to feed the MSM goosechase stories about one female soldier. It was a military matter and nobody else's business.

The MSM gripes about how the United States supported OBL, which was in support of their fight against the Russians, but when they publicize his terror performances , they are supporting him as surely as they gave the Democratic candidates FREE BACKING and NO QUESTIONS.

The MSM is likely the biggest reason women should not be on the front line.

If a woman qualifies, and has her head on straight, and wants on the front line, I say, GIVE THE DAMN LADY A GUN!

I don't think the enemy realizes what a pissed off female, on her period, with a loaded gun, can do.
