You are talking in circles. You are thoughtlessly pushing a Feminist agenda that damages the country. Read this:

You are talking about things that have gone on and on in the military for years. They don’t talk about the guys that cant’ take it do they? Been there, done that, will take a strong woman in in a foxhole anytime over a mertosexual fag! How about you? ....oh that’s right you can bit*h about the military but you have never been there. Thanks Monday morning courterback!

That is really too much. We need to honor all who serve in our military. You are directly disrespecting a person who has worn the uniform, you are attempting to demean many who have served and are serving. You are showing no class at all.

“Men of America, what’s wrong with you? These women were in Iraq doing your job! . . . Would you send your wife downstairs at 2 a.m. to investigate a suspicious noise? If there’s a fight on the corner, would you send your sister to break it up? It’s the same thing.”

Nooner has gone on the Sushi/Brie list. She can join Huffandpuffington.

Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops

No one is making fun of you.

Get over yourself.

This has never been about me. It’s about you dissing woman that have been warriors. I am not a feminist. I do know that when called to action woman can do just as well as men. Are you a mom? How far would you go for your kids if they were threatened? As far as a man? Or would you wait for a male to come along and save your kid?

Have you looked into anything about woman warriors yet? I have no problem with you, I just think you should educate yourself on this subject.

Ladyvet (Lady WARRIOR,) I thank you and Allegra and many other very strong, brave, bright, dedicated, professional, expert, God-givenly talented and gifted, FEARLESS, HONORABLE, selfless, principled, country-loving, protecting, DEfending, focused, responsible, loving, refreshing, awe-inspiring, humbling, and inspiring WOMEN for BEing ALL of the aforementioned.

You ARE true women warriors.

Pay no nevermind doncha know, to that person who also thinks that Sarah Palin is NOT a Conservative. I am now familiar with the poster and refuse to respond anymore to ?her?

Thank you and Allegra for your dedication to protecting me and MINE as awesome Women Warriors. I could never BEGIN to thank you enough.

AMERICAN Women Warriors are women like nothing else on this Earth.

Have a great day and thank you, again, Lady Vet and Allegra.

Allegra--stay safe and be good. :-)

Well I’m a dude, you females have always fascinated and puzzled me. ;)

It’s true women tend to be more emotional than men and that can get in the way of ‘leading’ but it’s a really ridiculous generalization to claim all women are incapable of being leaders or blasting terrorists heads off for that matter. I hope if Palin gets to be President she will show a woman kicking liberalism in the balls. And if you needed someone to protect you from a bear/rapist/sleepcellagent Ladyvet or Sarah Palin are better bets than 142 pounds of Impy or a large % of men. Most people aren’t “warriors”.

Girls and boys aren’t as different as you think.

Impy, you made me laugh about "142 pounds of Impy."

I'm sure that you can defend yourself quite nicely. ;-)

And if anyone wants to see the ULTIMATE definition of a warrior, witness the sight and actions of ANYONE getting between a mother and her CHILDREN.

That IS the definition of "warrior."

And now I'm off to the shooting range to hone my marksmanship.

Have a good one, Impy.

Thank you for your very kind words, Miss Behave. :)

I've been reading through these posts and I solidly agree with ladyvet's points.

Too many posters seem to assume that all women are exactly alike and we're just not. I have known women in the military who can be quite feminine but tough as nails when it's called for. I have known women that I'd much rather have getting my back than some of the men. (You know, those bitter, spiteful type men who can be cattier than any woman on his best days.)

That being said, I think real men are wonderful. It's boys in men's; bodies I don't have time for. And yes, they do the lion's share in combat and ours do a great job.

But to completely dismiss the contribution women have made in combat situations throughout history is simply ignorant. Women have endured the hardships, shed blood and made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom as well.

Donna, when I see you with 60 pounds of gear on, trudging through the dust in 120-degree heat with the guys, giving it your all for something you believe in, the maybe you can diss these people. But making fun of our women veterans is shameful.

ladyvet, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service.

God Bless you and stay safe. I will put you on my prayer list if that’s OK with you. My eldest is a medic in Okinawa right now...word is he’s headed your way.

Oh, I agree with you....I LOVE real men. And yes they do carry the burden.
