As I recall women would not have been in this position pre-Clinton. Not everyone in the at-risk positions are grunts. BTW,read the posts many of these people think women should be in combat. And the first post on this thread was pro that position. BTW, read my first post. Flame on, lol.

Actually there was a similar incident, a supply/maintainence unit taking a wrong turn and running into Iraqi forces, during Dessert Storm, and one of the POWs was a woman. The differnce was that she wasn't as well armed or well trained as PFC Lynch apparently was. There were two women POWs in DS, the other one was an Army flight surgeon who went out on a chopper trying to rescue a downed Air Force pilot. She stayed on active duty and made full Colonel (at least)

Are you talking about this thread? The first comment I saw after the excerpt was "proud to be an American". And I didn't see anyone advocating women in combat, either.

Considering we had female POW's in GW I, I'd say you are wrong.
