Another reason woman should never be anywhere near the front lines!

[Dilbert San Diego]

The move towards having women in combat, on submarines, etc. is not based on the needs of the military.

Because of the need to be liberal and politically correct, we have been compelled to look at women in combat, in the Navy Seals, etc. as some sort of civil rights issue. The way I look at it, the military is fundamentally different from civilian life, and the military should not be held to the same standards of civil rights/discrimination issues as civilian life is.

But, people with such a view are outvoted in today’s liberal politically correct climate. We have to have homosexuals in the military, we’re moving towards “trans” whatever peoples serving, and then the moves for women in positions formerly reserved for men.

I hope to God we don’t have to fight another war of the magnitude of World War II with today’s military establishment.

They tried to make her a poster girl for women in combat, which brought her a lot of unnecessary attention I think. Interesting that she is haunted by the death of her female friend, but maybe not so much by her male comrades. It definitely sounds like the Iraqi doctors butchered her. All those corrective surgeries by themselves would be a nightmare.

Bump that

You are absolutely right! There are plenty of jobs women can do in the military, fighting on the front lines is not one of them!
