Just great. This is from the article

*”The result, according to a study released last year, is that half of the women surveyed during deployment suffer urinary or vaginal infections.”

Other key findings and recommendations:

» Create a simple kit that allows women to self-test for urinary or vaginal infections without having to approach a company medic, often a man, about symptoms.

» Provide better security for tent lodging and bathrooms to lessen the risk of sexual assaults.

» Urge the Army, Marines and Air Force to conform with a Navy provision allowing 12 months for new mothers to spend with newborns to take full advantage of the health benefits of breast-feeding.

» Sponsor more research into better understanding of the mental health issues that develop when mothers separate from families to go to war.

I referenced the negative aspects of "logistics" in one of my previous posts, and I think this is an example of just that:

"...Create a simple kit that allows women to self-test for urinary or vaginal infections without having to approach a company medic, often a man, about symptoms..."

Are these "simple kits" going to take the place of battle dressings or ammo on a critical resupply? And is there going to have to be a female medic in every unit that has a female in it?

These are "the turd in the punch bowl" questions that Phyllis Schlafly would ask, but they probably aren't looking for her input.

And again, these types of questions, though small, aren't going to sway a decision in any way. It is going to happen come hell or high water.

Let the homosexual soldiers guard the females. Unless, of course, female homosexual soldiers are the ones doing the assaults. In that case, use heterosexual male soldiers as guards.

Hey, your link talked about male medics and I qoute, “» Create a simple kit that allows women to self-test for urinary or vaginal infections without having to approach a company medic, often a man, about symptoms.”

My link indicated there was at least one female medic in combat. Not only was this female medic good she was exemplary. Yet, you minimize her contribution. She was awarded the 3rd highest medal, not just "some" medal as you describe it. You should be ashamed of yourself, but you are too dim witted.

Now you mental midget, leave me alone you piss me off with your idiocy.
