You really oughta pay more attention--women make up nearly 20% of forces in Iraq and most are performing admirably. My girl is there, in Mosul no less escorting convoys to Tall Afar, and her cousin, another female, just graduated from basic training. The paln is to rely on those willing to do what far too many aren't----man young men are coming up short making the men and women who are still volunteering that much more remarkable and noteworthy and deserving of the utmost respect.

Why do you support reducing the effectiveness of our armed forces?

As the father of three sons serving in combat infantry units two of which have 8years each in the service I would like to thank you for raising a daughter willing to make the sacrifice. All of my sons have spent time down range and I have never heard one of them complain about the outstanding women they serve with. Some people just look for reason to complain.

I agree. We're a little late to lament this; the women in combat question has been settled because they are in combat already.

There are no front lines in the W.O.T.
