It's called sarcasm. Soldiers understand that terrible things happen in combat. Decent men understand that these burdens should be shouldered by men and not women.

It is natural for chivalrous men to be more offended at the death of a woman, especially when it only serves to further a gender-bending feminist cause and the Democrats desire to weaken our military.

The choice of the disparaging term "Cannon Fodder" is equally puzzling. These troops were in a support unit. That's not the usual meaning of "Cannon Fodder".

These women were doing an adequate job of being "supply clerks". There's nothing indecent, futile or dishonorable in that.

The author reveals he is a cad by implying that their service (and in one case death) were somehow dishonorable for themselves or for our armed forces.

Again, there is something odd in his entire presentation, something hidden and perhaps unspeakable. I just can't put my finger on it.

Well said.
