Yes. A woman is prisoner of war by an Islamist nation. God go with her.

While I think Travis did a piss poor job of explaining himself I have to add that our armed forces are composed *mostly* of kids from lower income families who use it as a means to get money for college. This is why blacks are overrepresented as a % of our military as compared to their % in the population at large. The army--->college thing is good until we go to war. I know several black females who have used the military as a means to get an education and join the middle middle class. It's a shame that our PC Clintonistas allowed these fine young women to be put in serious harms way. I hope she's not somebody's mommy either :(. I hope that PC-ism Clintonistas haven't allowed our military to be degraded to the point of being cannon fodder :(.

If you look at the pictures, it's mostly caucasians. I know that's not a big deal and probably shouldn't be brought up, but it looks like a cross-section of America.
