Tell that to my daughter who just got back to Mosu from Tall Afar where she manned the gunners hatch of a Stryker Medical Evac Vehicle. Went to Tall Afar, in part, to treat detainees and document their injuries before returning to Mosul with them loaded in open trucks. Many of these females make better soldiers than some of the men who disappear when such convoys are being 'manned' and I see a lot of 20 something year old 'men' walking around the malls. You have a right to your opinion--in part because there are women like my daughter, and a female cousin training to do the same duty protecting those rights.
Sorry to sound so harsh, but I have a right, too.
I salute your daughter for serving bravely in Iraq. But just because women are in combat, doesn't mean they should be. Call me old fashioned, but I think only men should be in harms way. If they are in hand-to-hand combat with men, women are at a distinct disadvantage. If they are captured, they are certain to be raped or worse. It is a sad commentary that we have to put women in situations where they are exposed to enemy fire, but the only solution I see to to have another draft--something that isn't likely to happe soon.
