CONSERVATIVE TRUTH: WARRIOR WOMEN

I read one feminist writer's article on this subject in which she claimed that Iraqi soldiers would be just as likely to sodomize male POW's as they would to sexually assault young female POW's.

Ok lets say this is true even though we know its obviously not. Who suffers the greatest damage? Who will be used as a constant object? Who will get pregnant? Who could have children who learn a foreign language and culture in captivity?

1 Standards for all military positions should be raised back to the original levels. NOW.

2. A woman who meets the original mens standards for strength and endurance and wants to take the risks of combat shold be allowed to.

3. Since Arabs and many other cultures will rape male POWs just as happily as females, they are at no greater risk after being captured. So9

All goes back to the failed ideology of modern feminism. Those 'women' have truly failed women as they tore down all the societal protections of women and children. We see it in lesser penalties in our legal system, in less education for women, and so much more.

"Women serving in the military is one thing. But putting women in combat is immoral."

There's more to it than that:
How about the men who lost their lives trying to find and free "Miz" Lynch?
Article I read put the figures at 9 dead, 8 "missing".

Would we have made such extraordinary efforts if Pvt. Lynch had been a male?
And before you leap up to say "Of course we would," recall that the other 7 or so POW's weren't found until this past Saturday - the search for them was called-off when Jessica was found!

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm sure you will), but your tone seems rather derogatory towards PFC Lynch (I believe you referred to her as 'Miz' Lynch, as if she herself would prefer this feminist form of address). She deserves the utmost respect that we would accord any & every person who serves in our armed services, whether they be male or female. Therefore, she should be addressed as PFC Lynch.
The limited statements issued by her & her family have been nothing but continued care & concern for the POWs (now released) from her unit. Any perceived special treatment she may have received, whether real or imagined, has been no fault of her own.
If you are implying that the MEDIA has continued to lionize her above the others, I may have to agree with you on that. As far as the lives supposedly lost in efforts to secure her rescue, I would like to know where you obtained your information. What article were you reading? I would also like to know why you believe the search for the other POWs was called off at the time of her rescue; this goes against all reports I have viewed in the media, whether the sources were considered liberal or conservative. Daily briefings stated that the rescue/recovery of ALL our missing personnel was/is a top priority.
I think we can both agree that the return of the 7 POWs on Sunday is a joyous event, just as the rescue of PFC Lynch was.
