I don't know about that. Doesn't it concern all of us if a woman in a combat zone is kidnapped? It's the American people who have decided it's OK to put women in this situation. I am not comfortable with intentionally placing women in harms way. If she left of her own will it's a matter for the JAG not the public.

It would only concern me if she had her issue with her and couldn't take some of them out.

If she left them stinking up the farmhouse thirty miles out of town, then I think that is what we pay her for.

Come to think if it, we also pay her to survive too, so I'm still OK with it.

I think we do need to correct something you seem to misunderstand. She wasn't drafted, so We didn't put her in harms way unless she wanted to be there.

NO I didn't misunderstand. Whether someone volunteers or not doesn't change the fact that it is not that person who decides acceptable military procedure. Ultimately it's the body politic who determines that. There are always those who will accept duty they aren't suited for.
