Blah blah blah.
Tell me how that salacious old loon's question going to help the family of Shoshana Johnson or any of the other POWs? How does that stop the memories of Rhonda Cornum from being publicized by Les Kinsolving?
Les is too damn chicken to find the parents of Shoshana Johnson and ask this question to their faces. No, he's got to plant in everyone's memory that Shoshana Johnson is probably going to be sexually brutalized by her Iraqi captors. In fact, Kinsolving probably is getting aroused by the question as I type.
I hope Les is right there when Shoshana Johnson comes home. I want him to ask her to her face if she was raped. And I want it well-publicized because the reaction of the people around her isn't going to be pretty.
Idiotic, stupid, moronic, illogical, ill-conceived.
Forgive me for being harsh, but it's this type of thinking that costs lives, degrades moral and takes away from the mission.
You know where we went to the bathroom when I was in the Gulf? In front of the whole damn company (there's no trees or hills), with everyone watching. You want that for your mom? That's just one tiny example of the many of why combat IS NO PLACE FOR A WOMAN. Never mind the disfigured and dismembered bodies, the sexual torture and the depletion of unit cohesion by bringing sexual tension into a situation where it doesn't belong. Never mind the lack of upperbody strength when someone might need it most.
I don't want to even argue this. IMO if something so common sense can't instinctively penetrate someone's frontal lobe there's no use arguing it.
Please do not trade your male instincts and decency for newthink cowflop. What's happening to those girls are because of people who think that way, absurd pollyanna idealism. Going to war and being thrust into a killing machine is not some sort of right to be enjoyed.
I honestly can not believe a halfway bright person could come to such a ridiculous, insane conclusion. God bless your mom but if anyone needs a pummeling it's you sir.
No you don't have a right to your opinion when it comes costing lives. Also, I don't think that just because there's a war on that we should unquestionably support every politician behind it, all the way down to the press secretary. We should question much, even more than ever. This notion of not second guessing or quesitoning stupidity while there's a war on is bankrupt thinking.
That said, I will say that the guy did kind of phrase the question very stupidly and I've overreacted a bit.
Is there a point to your mindless blitherings? A female is in fact weaker and they are in fact a much greater liability in a combat situation. Got that? The issue arises because it is in fact happening.
It causes great pain.
