Women have ALWAYS been pawns, in wars. During the Age of Chivalry, there were even special codes, on which females could be raped...rich ones shouldn't be, but some were...it just wasn't considered to be all that " chivalrous ".
Female spies were used during the Napoleonic wars. They've been used to conceal " secret " messages, forever.
Early morning historical discourse is so much more fun, than reading idiotic spewings, from little boys, who see women as body parts/sex toys and newbies, who are more PC/LIBERAL, than Conservative.
