I don't know about military uniforms, but in civilian clothes, the shirt buttons are on the reverse side for men and women. Maybe that is also true for military clothes.

NBC: Bloodied female military uniforms discovered

March 28 -- U.S. Marines now control a hospital where they say they found bloodied U.S. uniforms. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.

I'm about to make a politically-incorrect and unpopular statement. .

Women should NOT be place in COMBAT ROLES - PERIOD!

I've said it for twenty years - and now our worst nightmares of our daughters and sisters being captured, tortured, raped and mutialted have reached the headlines.

I blame no small part of this smack-dab on the shoulders of Bill and Hillary Clinton - they demasculated the Armed Forces.

The pitfalls of placing women in combat roles far, far outweigh any possible benefits of fighting capability to our Armed Forces.

Best,
