A single mother of 2 babies has no business being anywhere near a war zone
I agree, but let us take this where it logically follows: if women have no business being anywhere near a war zone (which they don't) then therefore it follows they have no place in the military except in a support position. Nurses (not in battle zone), cooks (not in battle zone), etc.
A single woman who is properly trained to be anywhere near a front line can be there as a cook or mechanic...etc...
I read that there are something like 225 jobs in military and only 30 or so are front line.....
Is it less honorable to serve as support in the back?
Now, we know Pvt. Lynch joined military to further her education.....did she join military out of national pride as has been suggested by some...or to further her education.
Same goes for Pvt. Pestiewa....
The bizarre side of me believes that Pvt. Pestiewa would request a do-over if she knew she would be so close to being captured or killed. Very very sad story and situation.
