“You are a dope.

She enlisted.

No one is forcing you or yours to enlist so don’t disparage those who do.”

I have to jump in and defend laweeks here. First, let me say that I don’t agree with his opinion that women should not be allowed in dangerous situations. Some women are very good at performing these types of duties, and this is what many of them want to do. However, I don’t think he was disparaging her at all, he just doesn’t agree with the policy that allows her to be placed in dangerous or combat type situations.

There is a huge difference between volunteering and being ordered into danger.

She volunteered to join the military and again to go into this most dangerous line of work.

I can pretty well guarantee that the military doesn’t routinely order women into the most dangerous roles.
