I find it incredibly grating to hear these youngbloods on this forum spouting this nonsense.

I woke this morning to my wife crying over the images of that poor girl who had been captured by these murderous fanatics.

It is so wrong of an idea that it I feel it as strongly as anything I've ever had a strong opinion about.(and I've had a few..lol) I know scores of over 35 vets and none agree with this new "what if" social engineering. It is absolute idiocy designed for only one thing...to appease the feminists and keep Pat Shroeder from having a crying fit...again. The military is no place for social experiments....

Those who like to equivocate this with negro rights are disingenuous.

History is on our side. Of course to these new age genuises, histroy is all wrong and misguided. They'll now come and remind me of fearless female political warmongering leaders which is true or the more canny Katie di Medici types but those women were not in the front lines. They were sovereigns...a big difference and another issue altogether.

Women pregnant while serving? Hell, it's an epidemic onboard ships. They just busted a salior gal prostitution ring on a carrier and some less than honourable marines were pimping them out. Do we need this crap in our military? It's one of the most ridiculous notions ever to float down the pike.

The LAST great female warrior ( I do NOT include Joan of Arc ! )was Boedicea, whose daughters were raped and then murdered, in front of her eyes, by Roman troops ( but then, they were princesses royal, and this was PRIOR to her mother's great putch against the Romans ! )millenia ago. She was not a " common soldier "...she was THE QUEEN AND THE COMMANDER IN CHEIF . Big difference !

Yes, there is and has been an ever growing problem, with women in our military, since the crazy Feminazis made such a stink about women in the armed services.

I seldom reply in a fashion that night be considered a personal attack, but this time I hear my own split-tails under attack. What urks me is that it comes from somebody who is almost a homefry. I used to live right next to Braddock's Landing at the end of Victoria Boulevard.

I did twenty years with the Army, most of it in Korea. If it's north of Seoul, I don't need a frigging map. I only had two females during that time, out of dozens, that weren't as nasty as us males. Both were chaptered out.

If I told Marcie and Maria to change the inside dualies on a twice-and-a-half, I didn't have to check back later. If I was on the DMZ and told Yvette and Sandi to cover me, I knew I had two mean perpetual PMS'ing wenches watching my six. Lori sat exposed under a ROK 155mm artillery shoot where they hosed the coordinates completely talking the rest of us out of the new & totally unexpected impact area.

You talk about pregnancies shipboard or in REMF assignments. Yeah, it might be a problem to those who deal in admistrivia. "Damn, we be short a typist!" You do not see that in the line units. Even if the wench is chasing everyone who doesn't squat to pee.

Let's see now -- 6'5" and 220 pounds. Yvette would have tied you in a knot like a stale pretzel, stuffed you in her duffel bag, and probably have forgotten your existence.
