Thanks for sharing. The only thing I found missing from the van Jenerette page, was where the eldest/only son is serving after graduating from the USAF Academy.

Was/is her Dad a former congressman?
To: Van Jenerette
No one sees a problem with women in combat???? Is she going to be able to pick up and carry your 230 pound son (father, brother) when he is wounded and she is the only one available to carry him to safety. My son is also a Captain in the Army and served with the 25th in Iraq. I fear for the safety of our country with the present attitude in the armed forces, especially the command structure.
AMAZED and HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED

To be fair I served in the Marine Infantry with guys who couldn't carry me if he was the only one available.
The question to ask is: "Is she willing to defend you to the last bullet if you're laying their wounded." if she is a warrior then I'm ok with that. Not every dude in the Army or Marines is a he-man nor is there always a way out from the area you're wounded in either.
It sounds like she is a true warrior and I'd be ok with her. But there are plenty of females that do not need to be there.

CORRECTION - NOT her DAD!!! related, perhaps - but see additional info from here:
http://www.jenerette.com/2010_bio/
Katherine’s father was a career military man and as an Army dependent she lived and traveled the world including a total of eight years in Europe.

If there were no women in “combat” your all-male army would not be able to body search, handle, touch or even engage in conversation with females in the Afghan civilian society.
“Female engagment teams”
For once in combat history, women are going and doing what no man can.

If you can do the job better, put on a uniform and go to it.

Only if they’re leaving children at home. Heartbreaking.

My son is also a Captain in the Army and served with the 25th in Iraq. I fear for the safety of our country with the present attitude in the armed forces, especially the command structure. I THANK YOUR SON FOR HIS SERVICE TO OUR NATION.
NOW MAYBE YOU CAN BE OF SERVICE TO THE NATION AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING MORE INTELLIGENT THEN CAN THIS WOMEN PICK UP A 230 WOUNDED SOLDIER.

Got news for you Dave---Katherine is the REAL deal and has YEARS of airborne and in-theater experience. I guarantee that she can knock you across the room. So what have you done for your country lately?
BTW, it was a crying shame that Katherine lost her congressional bid a few years back. She would have been one heck of a TEA Party leader in the GOP House caucus.

True, brent. The problem is, however, that PC rules and fear of offending higherups that order that women be successful results in unqualified women(and men)being left in place rather than removed. I saw it repeatedly in the army and LE.
Secondly, mixing women and men, especially in high stress situations, is always a mistake.
I am very thankful that we had no females in the infantry.
