As I said on a previous thread, I think that if a woman is qualified to go out and do the job, so be it. If she isn't, then she shouldn't. No PC to it.

I am also southern, so I do think that women shouldn't be in harm's way. (that's what men are for) If there is a need, and they can do the job, then they should also understand the risks that they could be captured or killed. No life is more important than anyone else out there.

A woman who knows the danger and proceeds is a treasure only a madman would spurn.

If a woman wants to help with the war effort, we should harness this enthusiasm and find a use for them, not spurn their desire.

The big hang-up with women in harm's way is rape.

Women should not be at the front because it clouds the MALE's judgement. It's a male weakness, not a female weakness.

LOL. That and maybe a few, I repeat, a few more things.
