Quote of the Day by PogySailor

Absolutely shameful that this young girl was put in harm's way!

[An.American.Expatriate]

Who is this woman?

She starts with typical "tear jerking". She then moves to "we can't let our poor girls suffer like this" (but it's quite okay for the guys!).

She then de-militarizes PFC Lynch by calling her Jessica ( I really hate the media for this!)

Then the hammer "Something is terribly wrong when the most powerful country on earth is assigning women service members to units where they are subject to capture, rape, torture and death, while able-bodied men are stationed out of harm's way or, worse still, at home in the comfort of their living rooms. "

Let's just bring back the draft and assign all those able bodied MEN to the front! Of course, we neglect to mention that PFC Lynch was assigned to a MAINTENANCE Company, not exactly your normal assault force - but we can't let facts bother us in our ranting.

She does acurately reflect the mindset of the femi-nazis!

Later she talks of the ONLY basis for excluding women from certain roles in the military, ie ABILITY! It is indeed wrong to "equalize" a role which really does require more physical strength.

Then another "fact": "Soldiers cannot pick and choose their assignments." This is total BS. Soldiers are given the opportunity to choose, they just may not always get what they want. PFC Lynch was NOT assigned to a ground combat unit - but, any military unit COULD come under attack, which is why all soldiers learn how to shoot.

As much as I would like to accuse Clinton of all the evils in this world, facts sometimes get in the way. Women have been assigned to Combat Support Roles [ones in which the soldier was VERY close to the front lines!] since at least 1982. As a Field Artillery Target Aquistion Specialist in 1982 - 83 assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division in Korea, I personally witnessed this!

This woman is, by her words, disgraceing the brave actions of PFC Lynch and all the women who have served proudly in our Armed Forces. She should be ashamed!

Guys, do you hide under the covers and send you wives downstairs if you suspect a burglar is in your home?

I have two words for this twit... "F^*% You!!" Who the hell do you think put women where they are!?!?!? Your damn Feminist movement!!!!!

Sam Donaldson yesterday on his radio program was recommending she be considered for the Medal of Honor.

Until the facts are known (notice the multiple gunshot and stab wounds are not there) about her actions (if they even come close to what the Washington Post has intimated) I think this kind of talk is premature.

”...assigning women service members to units where they are subject to capture, rape, torture and death, while able-bodied men are stationed out of harm's way or, worse still, at home in the comfort of their living rooms.

Bill Clinton, and his secretary of defense, Les Aspin were merely responding to pressure from Hillary and her feminist base/supporters. Pat Ireland and the NOW nags were demanding women share in all things masculine; those women should have been put on the front line to test the waters; the Clintons had/have no respect for the military be it schools or actual combat; they lowered the bar once again to prove – what? The congressmen bowed to the congress women and political correctness won the day.
