I am against women in combat roles, so I welcome this article. However, a little perspective is need here. Shoshana Johnson was not a soldier, she was a cook. Her capture was no different than if she had been a nurse who got ambushed.

She was a real eschelon troop who got caught up in the fluid front line..
The main troops moving so fast blow through the Iraqi lines that collapse behind them..
As the support troops move up...they sometimes get caught in the collapsing lines
We needed more troops imo to pacify the areas behind the big push..
The support troops also got lost and instead of skirting the towns that were isolated islands of reisitance (the enemy isnt able to fall back to support Baghdad...so they were bypassed)
Had the support personnel followed the main force they would have been ok..
They got confused in the fog of war and a bad sandstorm and wandered into one of these unsecured areas..
Kinda like the glee club from White Folks Bay wandering into the south side of Chi town after midnight
I agree the women should have been left behind until after the area is secured if only for what we know muslims will do to female personned in US military uniforms..
Look what they do to their own...

I've said before, and been flamed for, saying that the feminist movement is a psychotic disease that thrives off of making women miserable rather than building them up.
The feminist movement has done more to make women mere sexual objects than any man has done on his own. The feminist movement thrives off of women being raped, because they then scream about how they are being viewed more for their bodies rather than brains, and then they turn around and state that it's okay to have multiple partners and yet you can't say she's a tramp.
In short, and getting back to my point, they NEED the rapes and the abuse to justify their existence and continued activism.
