Teenage girls are allowed into combat zones because people do not care enough to keep them out. Every teenage girl
that goes into combat allows a male to hang out at malls and shop for new nose and ear rings. America is in trouble when men step back and allow wives, mothers and sisters to
fight wars. IMHO.

So none of you guys have a problem with sending teenage girls into combat zones?

How about you gals? Do you see a problem with sending teenage boys into combat zones?
This is as far as I care to read your thread.

I think you know better than to ask the question the way you did.

It's clear that the issue of 'women in combat' is NOT a question of women's patriotism, nor of women's capability to serve the country in some fashion--even in the Armed Forces (e.g., WWI and WWII.)

The question is whether the Clinton/Feminazi agenda of "pure equality" is right-minded.

One only needs to examine the sponsors of this "pure equality" doctrine to form a few valid preliminary conclusions.

We have been doing it for 2 centuries. Ever hear of Molly Picture?

That is Molly PITCHER, because of the pitcher she carried.

Correct analysis.

If the women are all assigned to HQ/rear-area support BY POLICY, that's fine. Yes, there will be casualties, but at least they will be 'unintended consequences' rather than putting them in real and present danger up front.

No my cousin in the gulf is a man in the Army infantry. From what he's told me he's not actually in the battle zone yet, but he will be very soon...

Of course you're right. We shouldn't send females into battle, whether they want to go out of genuine zeal or out of economic desparation or whatever. Our leaders should just say No Thank You.

It's disgusting...women don't belong on the front lines.
