During the gulf war, I believe twenty-one females died during in-direct combat. two became POW's. I cannot remember the names, but I do remember the stories, as told by one to congress. Three female Marines were awarded the Combat-Action Ribbon. You must come under fire, and return fire to receive this award. They are true patriots. It is hard, as a Marine, and the father of three, yes, three girls to think that it could come to the point of females taking up combat roles. I am glad that my girls will not have to register at 18 for the Armed Forces Selection Board. If they decide to join the military, so be it. It is just hard to kick the old pig out of this war machine.

I agree with your perspective. Men and women have differnt life missions programmed deep within themselves.

Men - A battle to fight. An adventure to live. A beauty to rescue.

Women - A desire to be fought for. An adventure to share. A beauty to reveal.

To ignore this is to create a legacy of maladjustments and the attendant repercussions.
