***Newt’s crazy statements — such as his explanation that women couldn’t be in combat because they get infections....***

Part of a discussion - based on some military General’s resistance to women in combat. Most likely supported by physician obgyn specialists who were asked to do a study on the physical status/medical implications of PMS and PID. Which makes sense - many women are frequently debilitated by gynecological causes. Note also how many have gotten pregnant while on ships & subs.

Not as nutty as it appears - but then again - think context. Grown men having to discuss menstruation in a Congressional debate on military preparedness.

Are you still laughing??

We warned that women and homosexuals in combat was a bad idea....and yet they had the gall to be 'shocked' when homoerotic pictures came back from Abu Ghraib.
