I don't believe that most women are fitted for some forms of combat, and I have long fought against the idea of women trying to be men. I do not believe in affirmative action or PC appointments, and I HATED Clinton's military policies concerning women in all positions, regardless of ability. Women on the battlefield can do many kinds of jobs, but THEY MUST BE ABLE TO PULL THE LOAD. If they cannot do it, they should not be advanced, period. Clinton's "experiment" has already failed. But the women now in place and now taking fire deserve our support, not the put-downs and rantings that some heap upon them here.
This thread is about the brave women now serving with pride in this war, and those who are possibly now in harms' way. These women deserve our support at this time, as well as the men who fight with them. Anyone who highjacks this thread and puts down our troops who might be in harms way deserves my bile, and those who do so belong in San Fransisco on the sidewalk with the rest of the pukes.
I think your agenda is overheating. There is no dishonor to present women patriots defending our freedom involved here. Just a friendly discussion, in general terms, about who is appropriate to serve in the military.
Honey....I am against women in combat or aboard carriers etc. That is simply my opinion.
I have not seen anyone on this thread wishing anything but the best for any of our women who might be in harm's way over there now.
I would much prefer to see a man captured or killed by our enemy than any women who may be at risk....if it is going to happen which of course it will since this is a war.
