I see you’ve been to 4 countries outside the USA. I’ve been to 30 including 3 months working in Israel.
Perhaps its you who should analyze why your way is the only way for everyone.
I like Rick Santorum but we’ve already got a President who tells us what to do and what to believe.
Fair question.
I don't have the authority to tell you what to say or do, and nobody but God has the authority to tell you what to believe. However, I can say some things are a really bad idea. Making comments like this about the physical attractiveness of female civilians is a good way to get in trouble with sexual harassment allegations. I fail to see how comments like this about female soldiers is more appropriate than saying them about female civilians, and a good case can be made it's considerably less appropriate since women in uniform still have to fight the perception they're only there as “eye candy.”
You're right that I've been to only a fairly small number of countries outside the United States. Those include Japan and South Korea. I might have seen quite a bit of mistreatment and real discrimination against Japanese and Korean women far beyond what most Americans will ever experience. I happen to think the United States is a much better place for women than virtually anywhere else in the world, and that's a good model we ought to encourage other countries to follow.
Force them? No—the only time we get to force massive social change is when we defeat somebody in war and need to reconstruct their society (i.e., Germany or Japan) to prevent future threats. But encouraging countries to follow American ideals is a good thing, I think.
I have a right to my opinion, too, don't I?
