"Pink casts she requested" This is bad. She's regressed bigtime. I hope dad doesn't still plan on having the, biggest bash ever, when she comes home. He just might find PFC JL in the corner in a fetile position sucking her thumb.
I sure as hell hope President Bush reviews this and takes women off the battlefield. Call me a pig if you must but I can't swallow this. I think we all know why this type of treatment doesn't bother former president Clinton but in a REAL world women should have never been put on the battlefield.

Idiot! I oppose women in combat (even 'tho my oldest daughter is in USMC boot camp right now - 1/2 way) - not because they won't fight in a pinch, but because they lack the upper body strength to adequately support their comrades. (BTW - my daughter agrees with this) Much of ground combat is just hard labor, and even the USAF & Navy encounter situations where you need to pull a wounded person out by yourself. Few women have the strength to do that.

I also don't like seeing mothers put needlessly in harm's way. I have 3 kids. I love them all - but my wife's relation with them, particularly when they were young, was special.

But you have no business suggesting she's a coward who wants to snivel in a corner. I like the idea of her having pink casts - shows she still considers herself a girl. I'm proud of how she has handled herself, even 'tho I wish she hadn't been put into that position.
