"The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq," a book based on 40 in-depth interviews, recounts the stories of female veterans who served in combat zones and tells of rape, sexual assault and harassment by male counterparts."

Ok, let's see here. There are about 140,000 soldiers in Iraq and 10% of them, or 14,000 are women Of these they have 40 (Forty) who claim to have been harassed, (whatever that actually means) or raped. That breaks down to .285% of the women serving, a statistical insignificance. Now I am not condoning even one case of sexual abuse in any form but only wish to put this in the proper perspective.

More women are raped yearly in DC than have been raped in Iraq since we got there according to the statistics.

Maybe women should not be allowed in our nation’s capitol.

It means whatever the harassee wants it to mean.

Juan Williams knows what it means. About 20 years ago there was a big kerfuffle at the WaPo when a bunch of the women whined he was harassing them. The problem? He would compliment them saying such horrible things like "You look nice today."

He issued an apology. I thought he should have told them where they could put their suffering.
