Look, I don’t want women in combat. It will never sit well with me.
But, things the way they are, you should know that I support you and every American fighter 100%.
Godspeed
I'm not a fighter. I'm just a contractor who's been working with the mission in Baghdad since early '04.
I have nothing but the highest regard for the guys who actually take to the streets to fight the enemy.
But in these particular wars, anyone associated with the military bases are in the same danger when the mortars and rockets come hurtling onto base (not so much these days) or when we're in convoys getting to a work location off the FOB or the airport, etc. and the roadside bombs are there.
I'm not complaining at all. I enjoy this work and wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. I chose to do this.
I'm not in combat and would not choose to be. To be honest, I never saw women on the combat convoys as they headed off base each day, but I suppose there must have been some. Somewhere.
