My personal observations during the first Gulf War lead me to believe most women aren't cut to fight. One evening during Desert Shield we received an alarm that stated that a group of heavily armed men had penetrated the perimeter and we were to take cover. I was standing in line at the chow tent with my sidearm when this occured. As I ran back to my barricaded tent I picked up several (3 or 4) women along the way. I entered the tent (I was a weapons courier and had to guard 100's of weapons prior to our armory opening) and told my men to arm up and prepare to defend our weapons and personnel. My men locked and loaded and we set up a perimeter around the tent. All this time the women were in the tent crying and hiding, they were totally worthless to me.

The truth does not matter to social engineering liberals on this forum masquerading as "conservatives".

This rather stupid issue was a non-issue back when conservative meant conservative.

This forum has been overrun as of late with social moderates and their indoctrination of the past 30 years.

The idea that a mother of three should leave her kids at home with hubbie to go fly Apaches is repugnant to me and speaks ill of our society on many levels.

The fact that she CAN or wants to FLY an attack chopper is irrelevant. It's not something any major society has ever done in history except in extremely dire circumstance. Why has the practice of placing women in combat never taken hold anywhere? Because men are pigs? Yeah Right.

Dumb...dumb...dumb.

In any event...contrary to Rummy's promise two years ago...they are there. I hope they all come home safe so far. Two apparently already are not. One wounded by that black muslim nutjob (more pc tomfoolery) and now that poor girl captured last night....I shudder to consider her fate...and yes...damn right it's worse when it's a woman. It is simply beyond the pale to place women in these roles....for so many reasons I could do a thread on that alone.
